Morocco’s U-20 national team leads the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations in market value, according to figures released by Transfermarkt, a leading football valuation site. The “Atlas Cubs” are valued at €7.05 million, placing them well ahead of their continental peers in terms of squad worth.

Ghana trails in second with a total value of €2.93 million, followed by Senegal at €1.95 million. The cumulative value of all participating teams in the tournament stands at €17.8 million.

At the top of the individual rankings is Moroccan forward Younes El Abdellaoui, who plays for Spain’s Celta Vigo and is valued at €2.3 million. Despite his status, El Abdellaoui was sidelined in Morocco’s recent group matches against Kenya and Nigeria by coach Mohamed Ouahbi.

French club Montpellier’s winger Othmane Maâma ranks second among Moroccan players and third overall in the tournament with a market value of €800,000. Anderlecht defender Ismaïl Baouf follows at €500,000.

Morocco currently tops Group B with four points after a 3–2 victory over Kenya and a goalless draw with Nigeria. The team is set for a decisive clash against Tunisia on Wednesday, which will determine their final standing in the group and their path toward the next round of the competition.
