Achraf Hakimi is a professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain. He represents and captains the Morocco national team. He is widely regarded as one of the best right-backs in the world.

At club level, Hakimi began playing for Real Madrid Castilla in 2016 and was promoted to the first team in 2017. He was sent on a two-year loan deal to Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, winning the DFL-Supercup in 2019. He then signed with Serie A side Inter Milan for a reported fee of €42 million, helping the club win the 2020–21 Serie A title, their first in 11 years. Paris Saint-Germain then signed him in 2021 for a reported fee of €68 million. With PSG, Hakimi has won four Ligue 1 titles, and contributed to the club's first-ever UEFA Champions League title in 2025, scoring the first goal against his former club Inter Milan, in a match that ended 5–0 for PSG.

Hakimi was capped by Morocco at the under-20 level, before making his senior international debut in 2016 aged 17. He was chosen in Morocco's squads for the FIFA World Cup twice (in 2018 and 2022), the Africa Cup of Nations four times (in 2019, 2021, 2023, and 2025), and was one of three overage players selected for the 2024 Summer Olympics team. At the 2022 World Cup, he led Morocco to make history as the first African nation ever to reach the World Cup semi-finals.

Hakimi ranked 6th in the 2025 Ballon d’Or, the highest position ever achieved by a Moroccan player. He was also named the 2025 African Player of the Year, becoming the fifth Moroccan recipient of the award and the first since Mustapha Hadji in 1998.
