The Moroccan national team for under-19, both male and female, shined at the World Boxing Championship held in Bangkok, Thailand, securing four bronze medals in a fierce competition featuring 79 countries and a total of 485 boxers.
The Moroccan champions made a strong impression on the podium, with Marwan Jafri (70 kg), Wahbi Mohammed (over 90 kg), Rhabat Hamdoun (51 kg), and Aya Al-Sebai (65 kg) winning bronze medals. This achievement highlights the competitive and physical prowess of the new generation of boxers in Morocco.
This accomplishment reflects the perseverance and ongoing efforts of the national coaching staff, led by Cuban coach Juan Carlos Ferrer, alongside coaches Najim Al-Abdallahoui, Yassin Mshahbi, and Zahra Zahraoui, as well as physiotherapist Mustafa Abisa, in supporting the athletes toward optimal performance.
These results mark a first for the Moroccan Royal Boxing Federation since its official engagement with the new International Boxing Federation (World Boxing) and demonstrate the strategies aimed at developing Moroccan boxing infrastructure and enhancing the competitive level of champions, under the leadership of the federation president, Abdejawad Belhaj, who continues to work on positioning Morocco among the premier boxing schools worldwide.
