Morocco v Slovakia - International Friendly match
Achraf Hakimi

19-year-old, Spanish born Moroccan Achraf Hakimi is the third youngest player at the World Cup this year. The Moroccan plays for Spanish giants Real Madrid, and this year became the first Arab player ever to be part of a side that won the UEFA Champions League trophy.

The right-back made nine appearances for Los Blancos in La Liga this season and even found the back of the net on two occasions during the time Dani Carvajal was out injured. Hakimi has had a stellar campaign so far with the Moroccan side as well, guaranteeing their participation at a World Cup tournament after 30 years.

Hakimi made his debut for the senior team of Morocco at the age of 17, back in 2016 and is expected to start in the games against Iran, Portugal, and Spain.
