Achraf Hakimi has secured 13th place in the 2026 Ballon d’Or rankings, as France Football gradually revealed the standings on Monday, October 26.
The Paris Saint-Germain right-back enjoyed a remarkable campaign, collecting major honours at club level while continuing to lead Morocco on the international stage. His latest ranking adds another milestone to a career that has established him among the most prominent Moroccan footballers in the world.
A Trophy-Laden Season with Paris Saint-Germain
Hakimi played an important role in PSG’s successful campaign, as the French giants claimed a four-trophy haul featuring Ligue 1, the UEFA Champions League, the Trophée des Champions and the UEFA Super Cup.
His pace, attacking instincts and ability to influence matches from the right flank have made him a crucial part of the Parisian side. Combining defensive responsibilities with dangerous forward runs, the Moroccan international continues to demonstrate the qualities that distinguish modern elite full-backs.
Leading Morocco on the International Stage
His achievements extended beyond club football. With the Atlas Lions, Hakimi celebrated continental success at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco before reaching the quarter-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, according to the supplied report.
The campaign also brought another personal milestone, as the national team captain reached 100 appearances for Morocco. It was a landmark moment for a player who has become one of the defining figures of his generation in Moroccan football.
Another Ballon d’Or Milestone
Finishing 13th in 2026, Hakimi once again secured recognition in one of football’s most prestigious individual awards. He had placed sixth in the previous edition, underlining his continued presence among the game’s leading names.
Although this year’s position represents a lower finish than last year, his season remains marked by significant collective achievements and a central role for both PSG and Morocco.
For the Atlas Lions, his influence goes beyond individual accolades. Hakimi continues to represent Moroccan ambition on the global stage, carrying the hopes of a nation that has established itself among international football’s most competitive sides.
