For the CAF Awards 2024 ceremony during which the African Ballon d’Or will be chosen, PSG made a gesture towards Achraf Hakimi.
Indeed, the right back of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Achraf Hakimi, is among the favorites to win the prestigious title of African Player of the Year at the CAF Awards.
This major event in African football will be held on December 16 in Marrakech, and the Moroccan player will be accompanied by a high-ranking delegation, testifying to the importance of this ceremony.
According to available information, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, president of PSG, as well as a significant group of leaders and relatives of Achraf Hakimi, will go to the ceremony to attend the designation of the 2024 African Ballon d’Or.
This exceptional trip highlights not only PSG’s unwavering support for its player, but also Hakimi’s overall impact on the Parisian club.
Achraf Hakimi, 26, has had a remarkable season, contributing greatly to PSG’s success in Ligue 1 and other domestic competitions.
But it is also his exploits in the Moroccan jersey which strengthen his candidacy for the African Ballon d’Or. His key role during the 2022 World Cup, where Morocco became the first African team to reach the semi-finals, is still remembered. Most recently, he helped his country secure a historic bronze medal at the 2024 Olympic Games.
The CAF Awards ceremony is a crucial event to celebrate African football talents, playing both on the continent and internationally.
The presence of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and other PSG personalities at this event demonstrates the importance given to Hakimi’s performances and their recognition on the international scene.
Although speculation has Hakimi as the hot favorite to win the title, no official confirmation has been given yet.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the official announcement to see if one of their own will be crowned. If Achraf Hakimi wins the trophy, it will mark a new milestone in his already impressive career and reinforce his status as an icon of African football.
Whatever happens, this exceptional trip illustrates once again the extent to which African football shines beyond its borders, attracting the attention of major clubs and the world stage.
