Marc-Vivien Foé Prize: Here’s why Achraf Hakimi is excluded

Achraf Hakimi, Moroccan international defender and Paris Saint-Germain player, is not nominated for the 2026 Marc-Vivien Foé Prize due to an ongoing legal matter. Although he contests the accusations, his exclusion is related to attitude and behavior criteria considered by the organizers. Despite his consistent performances, he is not on the final list of candidates this year.
