PSG's Achraf Hakimi Wins 2025 Prix Marc-Vivien Foé Award

Hakimi scored four goals and recorded eight assists in 24 Ligue 1 McDonald's matches, playing a significant role in PSG winning the league title this season. This production was enough for the 26-year-old to finally win the award after being the runner-up last season to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

This year was different for Hakimi. He finished with 364 points—nearly 200 more than OGC Nice and Côte d'Ivoire forward Evann Guessand. RC Strasbourg Alsace and Senegal midfielder Habib Diarra came in third.

After receiving the award, Hakimi noted what it means to be recognized as one of the best players from Africa this year.

"It's a source of pride for me to join the circle of great players who have won the award. It's fitting recompense for the season I'm having and for the season PSG are having too."

The PSG star also becomes the first Moroccan player to win the award since Sofiane Boufal received this honor in 2016. He becomes the fourth Moroccan player to win this honor, joining Marouane Chamakh (Bordeaux, 2009), Younès Belhanda (Montpellier, 2012), and Boufal (LOSC Lille, 2016).

Along with Hakimi becoming the fourth Moroccan to receive this award, which began for the 2008-09 season, he becomes the first PSG player to win this honor.

The Parisians are now level with Angers, Bordeaux, Montpellier, Nice, and Saint-Étienne for the times they have had a player win the Prix Marc-Vivien Foé award. Lille have had the most players win this honor with six, and right behind them is Olympique de Marseille with three.

If Hakimi continues to perform like he has over the past two seasons, this might not be the only Prix Marc-Vivien Foé award he wins. The right-back will look to join Aubameyang and Gervinho, who have won this honor twice, with Gervinho winning it in back-to-back years (2010 and 2011).
