Paris - (Saba):

Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi, a defender for Paris Saint-Germain, was named Ligue 1 African Player of the Year after contributing to his club's record-extending 13th title.

Hakimi, 26, won the Marc-Vivien Foé Award, beating out Ivorian Yvan Guisand, a Nice striker, and Senegalese Habib Diarra, a Strasbourg midfielder.

This award is named after the late Cameroonian player, Vivien Foe, a two-time Africa Cup of Nations winner, who died on the pitch in France during a match for his country in 2003.

The Moroccan international is the second defender to win the award after Congo's Chancel Mbemba in 2023, and the fourth Moroccan to win it after Marouane Chamakh in 2009, Younes Belhanda in 2012, and Sofiane Boufal in 2016. Gabon's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang won the award last year.

Paris Saint-Germain is seeking its first treble this season, playing in the Coupe de France final against Reims on May 24 and the Champions League final against Inter Milan on May 31. The Parisian team had already secured the Ligue 1 title this season a few rounds earlier.
