(FILES) Paris Saint-Germain's Moroccan defender #02 Achraf Hakimi speaks during a press conference on the eve of Paris Saint-Germain's second leg semi-final UEFA Champions League match against Arsenal, at the club's training ground in Poissy, west of Paris, on May 6, 2025. 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.
