The Moroccan international Othmane Maamma, a forward for Watford, was crowned the best young player of the year at the CAF Awards 2025. This is a well-deserved recognition for a talent that continues to progress with impressive maturity.
Trained at Montpellier, the young lion has climbed the ranks before gradually establishing himself in England. His year 2025 will be marked by a major achievement: his title as the best player of the U20 World Cup in Chile, won by the Atlas Lions. His influence on the game, creativity, and ability to turn matches around were decisive in Morocco’s triumph.
By receiving this trophy, Othmane Maamma confirms his status as a rising star in African football and once again highlights the quality of Morocco’s talent pool, now enriched by players competing in the top leagues.
