Achraf Hakimi wrote his name into Africa Cup of Nations history after his latest appearance for Morocco, becoming the most-capped player in the country’s record at the tournament.
The Paris Saint-Germain full-back reached 19 AFCON matches, moving clear at the top of Morocco’s all-time list in the competition.
Hakimi’s milestone came with Morocco continuing their campaign as one of the leading contenders, with the defender again playing a key role on the right side through his pace and energy.
With PSG watching closely, Hakimi has now confirmed his place among the great names in Moroccan football, adding another major achievement to his growing international career.
The new record underlines the 25-year-old’s consistency over several editions of the tournament, and shows how quickly he has become a constant presence for his country on the biggest African stage.
