Moroccan Trio Shines in Ballon d'Or
Morocco has made a strong presence in the 2026 Ballon d'Or nominations, with three Moroccan names among the candidates: Achraf Hakimi, Yassine Bounou, and Ayoub Boudadi. Hakimi, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain, is the only Arab player on the shortlist for the best player in the world, following a successful season during which his team won the Champions League and he participated with the national team in the 2026 World Cup, where Morocco reached the quarter-finals. Yassine Bounou, the goalkeeper for Al Hilal Saudi and the national team, is competing for the award of Best Global Goalkeeper, while Ayoub Boudadi, an emerging talent, is a contender for the Best Young Player in the World award. This reflects the increasing prominence of Moroccan players on the international stage. The winner will be announced at a ceremony in London on October 26, amidst competition in three main categories.
