Achraf Hakimi

Achraf Hakimi Mouh is a Moroccan professional footballer, born in Madrid, Spain, on 4 November 1998.¹² A right-back for Paris Saint-Germain, he captains the Morocco national team.¹ He has won the Champions League with two clubs — Real Madrid in 2018 and Paris Saint-Germain in 2025 and 2026 — and was named African Player of the Year for 2025.¹

Hakimi was born to Moroccan parents: his father, Mohamed, a street vendor from Oued Zem, and his mother, Saida, a housewife from Ksar el-Kebir.¹ He grew up in Getafe in economic difficulty, and the article quotes him saying he grew up in a household shaped by Arab and Muslim culture, which later influenced his decision to represent Morocco.¹ He joined Colonia Ofigevi as a child and moved to Real Madrid's academy in 2006.¹

Hakimi came through Real Madrid's academy, played for Castilla from 2016 and made his first-team debut in 2017, winning the 2017–18 Champions League — the first Moroccan to win the European Cup.¹ A two-year loan at Borussia Dortmund followed, where he won the 2019 DFL-Supercup and set a Bundesliga speed record, before a move to Inter Milan in 2020 brought him the Serie A title.¹ He signed for Paris Saint-Germain in July 2021, and scored the opening goal of the 2025 Champions League final against his former club Inter as PSG won their first title; PSG retained the trophy in 2026.¹

Hakimi made his senior debut for Morocco on 11 October 2016, aged seventeen.¹ He played at the 2018 World Cup and at the 2022 World Cup, where Morocco reached the semi-finals and he scored the winning penalty, a panenka, in the shootout against Spain.¹ As captain he won an Olympic bronze medal with Morocco at Paris 2024 and the Africa Cup of Nations in 2025, and reached one hundred caps at the 2026 World Cup.¹ He finished sixth in the 2025 Ballon d'Or voting, the highest placing ever achieved by a Moroccan, and was named the 2025 African Player of the Year.¹

Hakimi was married to the actress Hiba Abouk from 2020 to 2023 and has two sons.¹ The article records, in attributed terms, that in March 2023 he was indicted by an investigating judge in Paris over a rape allegation, which his lawyer states he strongly denies, and that in September 2026 France's highest criminal court rejected his appeal, so he will stand trial.¹

This section sets out different positions as reported in the sources. It is not a verdict by the museum. The English article describes the household Hakimi grew up in as shaped by Arab and Muslim culture, and its references preserve his words in a September 2025 interview: "I don't know if I'm the most important Muslim or Arab figure; there's Salah, too".¹ The Arabic article's infobox gives his religion as Muslim generically, a value drawn from Wikidata.² Neither source names a legal school or theological affiliation for him personally, so his faith is recorded in the museum's data as unknown.¹²
