Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi has been crowned the 2025 CAF African Player of the Year, securing the top individual honour in African football after an exceptional season for both Paris Saint-Germain and the Atlas Lions.

Hakimi beat two strong finalists — Egypt’s Mohamed Salah and Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen — to clinch the award.

The right-back enjoyed a remarkable 2024/25 campaign, playing a crucial role in Paris Saint-Germain’s domestic success and their historic UEFA Champions League victory. His defensive solidity, explosive pace and attacking threat from the right flank have earned him recognition as one of the best full-backs in world football.

Hakimi’s performances for Morocco also strengthened his case, as he continued to be a key figure for the national team.

The award marks another milestone in the 26-year-old’s career, further solidifying his status as one of Africa’s most influential footballers.
