Ballon d’Or africain 2026 : Achraf Hakimi en route vers un deuxième sacre consécutif ?
After finishing 13th in the 2026 Ballon d'Or, Achraf Hakimi can now hope to retain his continental crown. The Moroccan right-back is among the contenders for the African Ballon d'Or, where several renowned rivals could, however, stand in his way.
The race for the 2026 African Player of the Year award promises to be fiercely contested. Achraf Hakimi, the previous winner, aims to retain his title and achieve a second consecutive victory. His ranking in the 2026 World Player of the Year award, won by England's Harry Kane, is a significant factor in his bid for the continental accolade.
The Moroccan defender for Paris Saint-Germain finished 13th in the world rankings, ahead of several top players. This performance strengthens his candidacy and confirms his place among the most prominent players of the season.
Tough competition for Hakimi
To retain his trophy, the Moroccan will nevertheless have to contend with several serious contenders. Sadio Mané, Viktor Osimhen, Yan Diomande, and Ismaïla Sarr are among the names likely to be in the running for the continental title.
While Senegal's Sadio Mané finished 29th in the 2026 Ballon d'Or rankings, this ranking difference alone is not enough to separate the contenders for the African title. Individual performances, team results, and each player's influence throughout the season will also be factors.
With his 13th place in the world rankings, Achraf Hakimi has a strong argument to defend his chances. However, the world Ballon d'Or ranking does not automatically determine the winner of the African award.
The Moroccan full-back will therefore have to rely on all of his performances to hope to add his name to the list of winners once again.
