Achraf Hakimi breaks silence on Morocco's elimination, his first public reaction

Achraf Hakimi, captain of the Atlas Lions, posted his first message since Morocco's elimination in the 2026 World Cup quarter-finals against France (2-0). He called for not defining oneself by a defeat but by what the country builds. His performance was criticized by the Moroccan press, which gave him a rating of 4.5/10 and 15 lost balls. Coach Mohamed Wahbi defended him.
