Morocco’s Achraf Hakimi has capped a sensational 2024/25 campaign by earning a place in FIFA’s Best Men’s XI of 2025, the only African player on the list. The honor follows a stellar season with Paris Saint-Germain, where Hakimi combined defensive authority with relentless attacking output. Operating as a right-back, he scored 11 goals and delivered 18 assists, playing a decisive role in PSG’s Ligue 1 and UEFA Champions League triumphs. Already crowned CAF Player of the Year, the 27-year-old now turns his focus to the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, where he will captain the host nation’s Atlas Lions amid soaring expectations.
