During Morocco’s World Cup victory against Scotland, team captain Achraf Hakimi was met with intense scrutiny and mockery from the spectators. This backlash followed the recent decision to proceed with the appeal phase of a legal case involving rape allegations against him in the French courts. Despite the crowd’s reaction, Moroccan coach Mohamed Onabi expressed his unwavering support for Hakimi, stating that the entire squad stands by him and that he remains highly satisfied with the captain’s performance. Addressing the situation, Hakimi suggested that these accusations are a consequence of his high profile, claiming that the case was revived because he is an easy target, even in the absence of evidence.
