Achraf Hakimi Mouh (আশরাফ হাকিমি) is a Moroccan professional footballer who plays as a right-back or right winger for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain and the Morocco national team. Known for his pace, defending, and set-piece ability, he is widely regarded as one of the best full-backs in the world.

Early life

Hakimi was born on November 4, 1998, in Madrid, Spain, to Moroccan parents. His father, Mohamed, was a street vendor, and his mother, Saida, worked as a housewife. Hakimi grew up in Getafe belonging to the Community of Madrid, where his family faced economic challenges. At the age of 8, Hakimi joined Colonia Ofigevi, a local football club, where he began his football journey. His talent was quickly noticed, and in 2006, he joined Real Madrid's youth academy. He spent several years developing his skills in the academy, initially playing as a winger before transitioning to his more familiar role as a right-back.

International career

After representing Morocco at under-17 and under-20 levels, Hakimi made his debut for the under-23s on 5 June 2016, in a 1–0 friendly win over Cameroon U23s. He made his full international debut on 11 October 2016, coming on as a substitute for Fouad Chafik in a 4–0 win against Canada. He scored his first international goal on 1 September 2017, netting the fourth in a 6–0 home routing of Mali.

In May 2018, he was named in Morocco's preliminary squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup and on 4 June he was named in the final 23-man squad for the tournament.

Style of play

Upon signing for Borussia Dortmund, Hakimi was profiled as a quick, dynamic and powerful right-sided attacking full-back or wing-back, who is tactically and technically adept and capable of playing long accurate passes from defence. Trained as a winger, he can also play as a defender due to his physical presence. He is widely regarded as one of the best full-backs in the world.

Personal life

Hakimi is a Muslim who has performed the Umrah to Mecca multiple times. He speaks Moroccan Arabic, Spanish, French and English.

Hakimi was married to Spanish actress Hiba Abouk from 2020 until 2023. She is of Tunisian descent and has some Romani ancestry. The couple have two sons, born in 2020 and 2022.

On 27 March 2023, Abouk came out with a statement on her Instagram account confirming that the couple had previously separated, and that they were awaiting divorce proceedings. It was reported that Abouk requested more than half of Hakimi's assets and fortune, although the assets are allegedly held in his mother's name. The veracity of that claim is in dispute.
