Moroccan Star of Paris Saint-Germain team, Achraf Hakimi, has been awarded the 2025 Marc-Vivien Foé Award, an honor that recognizes the best African player in France’s Ligue 1.

The Moroccan right-back is the first PSG player ever to have received the award since its inception in 2009.

“This nomination makes me proud,” Hakimi told RFI in an interview following the announcement. “I am happy to have won this award. I hope to win more! And in doing so, join the ranks of the great players. I’m very proud of myself.”

Hakimi, 26, has had a standout season with PSG, playing a key role in its dominance in the Champions League campaign.
