Morocco captain Achraf Hakimi has officially become the most-capped African player in FIFA World Cup history.
The Paris Saint-Germain defender reached the milestone after starting in Morocco’s 1-0 group stage victory over Scotland.
He entered his third World Cup tournament with 10 career appearances already under his belt.
The 27-year-old then matched the previous record during a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Brazil.
His 12th tournament appearance breaks the long-standing benchmark of 11 matches held by icons François Omam-Biyik and Asamoah Gyan.
The durable right-back has remarkably featured in every single World Cup match played by his country since 2018.
This latest historic milestone firmly cements his legacy as a true legend of continental and global football.
