Rumor Swirls: Moroccan Soccer Star Ziyech Linked to Ivorian Actress After AFCON Drama

The rumor of a marriage between Hakim Ziyech and Ivorian actress and influencer Marie Paul Adjé is circulating on social media, especially on Ivorian pages. This rumor emerged in Côte d’Ivoire after the Elephants’ last-minute qualification for the second round of the 2024 CAN. This qualification was greeted with popular jubilation throughout the country. Some Ivorian supporters even asked to name one of the streets of Abidjan after the Moroccan international. "Thursday, January 25, 2024, and until now, there is still no street named Hakim Ziyech, is it a lack of professionalism on the part of our government?" questioned an Ivorian supporter.

By scoring the only goal of the match between Morocco and Zambia, Ziyech saved Côte d’Ivoire, which feared its elimination in the group stage. The host country thus reached the round of 16 at the last minute. The Elephants will face defending champions Senegal this Monday evening in Yamoussoukro. The winner will face Mali or Burkina Faso on their way.
