Achraf Hakimi

Achraf Hakimi is a Moroccan defender currently with Paris Saint-Germain, where his game is defined by duel winning, recovery speed, and clean buildup from the back. Hakimi developed through Real Madrid, Dortmund, Inter, and PSG, winning league titles and starring in Morocco's 2022 semifinal run. For Morocco, he has become part of a team trying to build on the confidence of its historic 2022 semifinal run and is asked to organize the back line and handle elite one-on-one assignments when tournament margins tighten. At World Cup 2026, the key question is whether Achraf Hakimi can carry his club rhythm into the international stage, handle the physical tempo of the group, and deliver one or two decisive moments that change the shape of Morocco's campaign.
