Morocco 16-0 New Caledonia: Sets U17 World Cup Record for Largest Victory in History

Morocco’s U17 national team made history at the Qatar U17 World Cup, securing a historic 16-0 win over New Caledonia to set a new tournament record for the largest margin of victory, thus keeping their hopes of advancing to the knockout stage alive. The previous record was Spain’s 13-0 win over New Zealand, but Morocco shattered it with a more relentless offensive display in this match.

Facing New Caledonia, Morocco dominated almost from the kick-off. The opponents had two players sent off in quick succession in the first half. The huge numerical disadvantage left New Caledonia completely on the back foot, and Morocco launched an unrelenting onslaught without mercy.

Morocco ultimately claimed an overwhelming victory to conclude their group stage, but still finished third in Group B behind Portugal and Belgium. The team must now wait for the results of other groups to confirm if they can advance to the Round of 16 as one of the best third-placed teams.
