On Sunday evening, the finalists for the 2025 African Player of the Year award were revealed. Achraf Hakimi, the 26-year-old right-back for Paris Saint-Germain and Morocco, is among them.

Hakimi will therefore be up against Mohamed Salah (the 33-year-old forward for Egypt and Liverpool) and Victor Osimhen (the 26-year-old forward for Nigeria and Galatasaray). It’s a very strong competition, even if his historic season with PSG and his impressive performances for Morocco seem to make him the favorite. The winner will be announced this Wednesday, November 19.
