Achraf Hakimi remains at the centre of Morocco’s World Cup story after fresh French coverage focused on the Paris Saint-Germain defender’s next step with the national team.
L’Équipe’s PSG page led its latest Paris Saint-Germain news block with multiple Hakimi items on 21 June, including “Hakimi, le match d’après” and Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi’s comment that the full-back is “very calm”. The same round-up also noted that Hakimi had been whistled by Scotland supporters at Gillette Stadium, keeping the 27-year-old’s tournament under unusually close attention.
Hakimi has already been a recurring figure for PSG supporters during the World Cup, with Morocco relying on one of the club’s most experienced players while Paris track the condition and form of their internationals.
Why Hakimi’s Morocco role matters to PSG
For PSG, the immediate interest is not only Morocco’s result line. Hakimi’s workload, public focus and mental rhythm all matter before Luis Enrique’s squad returns to club duty.
The defender remains one of PSG’s most important right-sided outlets, and any major World Cup swing around him will be watched closely in Paris. According to L’Équipe’s Paris Saint-Germain updates, Hakimi’s Morocco story is still one of the key PSG-linked threads of the tournament.
That makes his next Morocco appearance more than an international subplot. It is a live PSG watchpoint.
