French court orders Achraf Hakimi to stand trial in sexual assault case ahead of Morocco's FIFA World Cup 2026 Scotland clash
Morocco and Paris Saint-Germain star Achraf Hakimi is set to stand trial in France after an appeals court upheld a decision requiring him to face sexual assault charges.
The ruling was announced on Friday, just hours before Morocco’s crucial World Cup group-stage match against Scotland.
Hakimi, one of the most recognized defenders in world football, has consistently denied all allegations made against him and maintains that he has done nothing wrong.
