World Cup 2026 Preview

Achraf Hakimi was one of the stars of the 2022 World Cup, where Morocco became the first African nation to reach the semi-finals. The PSG right-back was sensational throughout the tournament, combining devastating attacking runs with disciplined defensive work. At 27, Hakimi is at the peak of his powers and enters the 2026 World Cup as Morocco's captain and most recognizable star. His blistering pace, technical quality, and ability to influence games from right-back make him one of the most exciting defenders in world football. Morocco's historic run in Qatar was built on defensive solidity and Hakimi's ability to transition from defense to attack in an instant. The Atlas Lions will look to replicate and surpass that achievement, with Hakimi leading from the front as the symbol of a golden Moroccan generation.
