Hakimi lays down a marker for the World Cup!

Achraf Hakimi, the 27-year-old right-back for Paris Saint-Germain and Morocco, spoke to Onze Mondial in an interview that notably looked ahead to the 2026 World Cup. The Atlas Lions player spoke about his national team’s ambition in this major competition.

Hakimi: “I don’t know where our limit is.”

“Our only limit depends on us. We are the ones who set our own limits. Thanks to our performances on the pitch and what we deliver in major tournaments, Morocco is growing and competing with the big nations. Today, I don’t know where our limit is, and that’s precisely what makes it interesting.

Hakimi: “Our objective is clear”

The new generation is joining the national team hungry to achieve great things, and thanks to them, we are pushing our limits even further. It is a squad full of ambition. We want to accomplish great things every year in order to stay at the highest level. Our objective is clear: to make football history.”

Morocco may not be seen as a favorite in this competition, but it is undoubtedly an opponent to be taken very seriously. They proved that well at the last World Cup, notably by knocking out Spain before losing to France in the semi-final. Since then, the Moroccan national team seems to have managed to maintain a certain consistency.

There may even have been progress, thanks to a very promising generation now emerging. In any case, Hakimi and his teammates can be ambitious. Even if it must always be kept in mind that the competition is, inevitably, extremely tough in such a tournament. But everyone has been warned: Morocco is coming without fear. There is, rather, immense determination to “make history.”
