Hakimi recognised by fellow players

Achraf Hakimi has been named in the 2026 FIFPRO Men’s World 11 after voting by professional footballers. The Moroccan international is one of three Paris Saint-Germain players selected, alongside Nuno Mendes and Vitinha.

PSG’s strong representation

The team is based on player votes and performances during the award’s eligibility period. For Hakimi, the honour is another significant recognition of his work at club and international level. The announcement comes during a period of broad global visibility for Moroccan football.

A major period for Moroccan football

Hakimi has also been nominated for the 2026 African Player of the Year award by the Confederation of African Football, although the winner is not due to be named until December. The two awards are separate honours with different voting and selection arrangements.
