African Ballon d'Or: PSG is preparing something special for Hakimi

Paris Saint-Germain is gearing up to launch an official campaign in support of Achraf Hakimi in the race for the 2025 African Ballon d'Or. According to several consistent French sources, the capital club is determined to leverage its media power to spotlight its Moroccan full-back, who has delivered an exceptional season both for club and country.

A cornerstone of PSG's setup, Hakimi has established himself as one of the world's top defenders thanks to his consistency, attacking contribution, and leadership. As a finalist at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations with Morocco and a standout performer in the Champions League, he's considered one of the frontrunners to succeed Lookman, who claimed the award in 2024.

The list of nominees announced by the Confederation of African Football also features Frank Anguissa (Cameroon), Fiston Mayele (DR Congo), Denis Bouanga (Gabon), Serhou Guirassy (Guinea), Oussama Lamlioui (Morocco), as well as Senegalese duo Iliman Ndiaye and Pape Matar Sarr.
