Moroccan Football celebrates a new milestone tonight with the inclusion of Achraf Hakimi and Sofyan Amrabat in the prestigious Africa 2024 Ideal XI.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced the continent’s dream lineup, recognizing the exceptional talent and outstanding performances of both players throughout the year.

Africa’s 2024 Ideal XI presents a formidable combination of talent and experience. The goal is guarded by Cameroonian André Onana. The defense is made up of Achraf Hakimi, the Senegalese Kalidou Koulibaly and the Congolese Chancel Mbemba. In midfield, Sofyan Amrabat shares the midfield with the Malian Yves Bissouma, the Ivorian Franck Kessié and the Ghanaian Mohammed Kudus. The offensive trident is led by the Egyptian Mohamed Salah, accompanied by the Nigerians Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman.

Hakimi, right back for Paris Saint-Germain and captain of the Moroccan national team, continues to achieve success after being nominated for the African Ballon d’Or. His speed, technical ability and offensive contribution have established him as one of the best full-backs in the world. His inclusion in the Ideal XI confirms his impact on African and international football.

Fenerbahçe turbo midfielder Amrabat has also earned a place in the star lineup.

His defensive solidity, vision of the game and ability to recover balls have been crucial for both his club and the Moroccan national team.

His presence in the Ideal Eleven highlights his growth as a player and his importance in the Atlas Lions’ tactical scheme.

The double Moroccan presence in the Africa 2024 Ideal XI is a testimony to the flourishing of football in the country and a source of pride for the fans.

Both Hakimi and Amrabat have become references for new generations of Moroccan footballers, inspiring young talents to follow in their footsteps and dream of reaching the elite of African and world football.

This recognition reinforces Morocco’s position as a rising football power on the continent.
