A French appeals court on June 19, 2026 confirmed Moroccan football star Achraf Hakimi will stand trial charged with raping a young woman. In February 2023, a woman then aged 24 told police in the Val-De-Marne region southeast of Paris that Hakimi had raped her. The Paris Saint-Germain player and captain of the Moroccan national team, whose side are playing their second World Cup match on June 19 against Scotland, has consistently denied the allegations.
