Al-Tarabulsi: Morocco's World Cup Brilliance Boosts Hakimi's Ballon d'Or Chances

Former Tunisian coach Sami Al-Tarabulsi, who currently works as an analyst for Qatar's 'beIN Sports' channels, expressed his hope that the Moroccan national team will achieve a remarkable path in the World Cup tournament scheduled to start next June, emphasizing that this could directly reflect on star Achraf Hakimi's chances in competing for major individual awards.

Al-Tarabulsi confirmed that reaching advanced stages in the World Cup would enhance Morocco's Hakimi's chances in the race for the global Ballon d'Or, given the impressive levels the player is presenting on both the continental and European levels.

This comes at a time when Hakimi continues to shine with Paris Saint-Germain, having succeeded in winning the UEFA Champions League title for the second consecutive season, affirming his status as one of the most prominent full-backs in world football.

The captain of the Moroccan national team was crowned last year with the African Player of the Year award, after receiving the African Ballon d'Or, an achievement that reflects his rising status on the international stage.
