Morocco’s Arab Cup triumph over Jordan also highlighted individual excellence, with goalkeeper Mehdi Benabid named best goalkeeper of the tournament and midfielder Mohamed Hrimat awarded the competition’s most valuable player.

Benabid, who plays for Wydad Casablanca, was a consistent presence throughout the tournament, earning recognition for his composure, reflexes and decisive interventions in key moments. He again played a central role in the final, reinforcing his status as a reliable option in a Moroccan goalkeeping pool rich in talent.

Hrimat was named MVP after anchoring Morocco’s midfield during its title run. His tactical awareness, technical control and ability to manage transitions helped the team maintain balance across matches. In the final, his distribution and work rate were key as Morocco absorbed pressure before securing victory in extra time.

The awards capped a tournament that underscored Morocco’s depth and leadership across positions.
