Achraf Hakimi ‹ › Cheered on by fans for his triumphant return after injury, Achraf Hakimi celebrated his 60th victory with the Moroccan national team on Monday. In their final Group A match of the Africa Cup of Nations 2025 in Rabat, the Atlas Lions dominated Zambia 3–0, securing qualification for the round of 16. Continuing his impressive run, the right-back—who came on in the 64th minute—now stands on the verge of surpassing the national record of 63 victories, previously held by former captain Noureddine Naybet. With Morocco advancing to the knockout stage on home soil, the Paris Saint-Germain defender has become only the second player in the history of the national team to reach 60 international wins, following in the footsteps of the 2004 AFCON finalist and former teammate of head coach Walid Regragui. If the Atlas Lions maintain their momentum in the decisive matches ahead, Hakimi could soon set a new benchmark. At 27, he is currently riding a remarkable streak, having won his last 14 appearances with the national team.
