Achraf Hakimi has joined the elite group of modern full-backs. He is known for his incredible speed, which he uses to attack and also defend with confidence, even under pressure. The Moroccan talent has built a great career in Europe. At 27 in 2026, he is a fully established leader at Paris Saint-Germain and for Morocco.
Achraf Hakimi Biography and Early Life
Achraf Hakimi was born on the 4th of November, 1998, in Madrid, Spain, to Moroccan parents. His football career took off very young. At a very early age, he joined Real Madrid’s academy and grew through one of the world’s preeminent youth academies before making his senior team debut at 18.
In the case of Hakimi, we see an especially inspiring story, which is that although he was born in Spain, he chose to represent Morocco on the international stage. That decision in turn made him the biggest sports figure in Moroccan football.
Achraf Hakimi Bio, Height and Personal Info
As of 2026, Hakimi will be 27 years old. He is also 1.81 meters (5 ft 11 in) tall, which is his physical profile, and he mostly plays as a right back. What you see is what you get with Hakimi: very fast and with great attacking instincts, which enable him to play like a wide man when PSG have the ball.
Personally, I am most interested in how Hakimi does what comes naturally, which is to wear many roles on the field at the same time: that of a defender and an attacker. To see him break away from his own half and then all of a sudden appear in the penalty area is what really brings his game to life.
Achraf Hakimi PSG Career
Hakimi went to Paris Saint-Germain in July 2021 after winning the Serie A with Inter Milan. He immediately became PSG’s first-choice right back and has been a key member of the team.
His time with the PSG team saw the top of the mountain in 2025 when they defeated Inter Milan 5- 0 in the final of the Champions League, which also saw PSG win the club’s first-ever European title. Hakimi scored the opening goal that day in that great final. By April 2026, he had already hit 200 appearances for the club, which is a testament to how important he has become to the team.
Achraf Hakimi International Career
Hakimi is the man for Morocco and has seen him become one of the team’s key players. In 2022 at the FIFA World Cup, we saw the peak of his international career as Morocco made it to the semi-finals, which was the first time an African team achieved that.
In the round of 16, he scored a famous Panenka against Spain, which still stands out as one of the best from that tournament.
