PSG Backs Achraf Hakimi as Morocco Begins Africa Cup of Nations Campaign
Paris Saint-Germain has expressed its support for its right-back, Achraf Hakimi, who is participating with the Atlas Lions in the Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire.
"We wish Achraf Hakimi a good Africa Cup of Nations with Morocco. Morocco of our Parisian will play their first match in this #CAN2023 against Tanzania, on Wednesday, January 17!" wrote the Parisian club on X.
