Morocco international Achraf Bencharki has publicly declared Paris Saint-Germain defender Achraf Hakimi as the greatest player in Moroccan football history. Bencharki made this statement during an appearance with Egyptian content creator Ahmed Gharib, where he was presented with a list of prominent Moroccan players from various generations. He stopped the sequence upon hearing Hakimi's name, selecting the PSG full-back over other national team legends like Abdeljalil Hadda, Noureddine Naybet, Mustapha Hadji, Salaheddine Bassir, Mbark Boussoufa, and Hakim Ziyech. This personal assessment comes as Hakimi enjoys another high-profile year, being nominated for the 2026 men’s Ballon d’Or alongside stars such as Kylian Mbappé and Harry Kane. Hakimi has gained international recognition through spells with Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan, and PSG, and played a crucial role in Morocco's historic semi-final run at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
