Moroccan karateka Said Oubaya clinched the gold medal in the under-67 kg category at the 2025 World Games, earning Morocco its first medal of the tournament.
Oubaya secured the victory with a narrow 4-3 win over his Japanese opponent in a tense final match, decided in the closing moments. His path to gold included impressive wins against contenders from Brazil, Kazakhstan and Jordan in earlier rounds.
The 12th edition of the World Games, held one year after the Olympic Games, features more than 4,000 athletes from 118 countries competing in 34 non-Olympic sports. Oubaya’s triumph marks a significant milestone for Moroccan karate and offers a strong boost for the country’s presence in major international competitions.
