Achraf Hakimi hints at possible World Cup opportunity for rising Moroccan star

Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi has fuelled speculation about a potential World Cup call-up for rising youngster Gessime Yassine following the player’s impressive season in France.

The Strasbourg midfielder recently shared his delight after enjoying what he described as a remarkable campaign for both club and country. In a post on his official Instagram account, Jassim reflected on a year filled with major milestones and unforgettable moments.

The young Moroccan admitted that it has been difficult to fully process everything that has happened in such a short period, highlighting the rapid progress he has made over the course of the season.

Jassim spoke proudly about his transition from the French second division to Ligue 1, while also celebrating his success with Morocco’s youth national team after winning the Under-20 World Cup title.

The post quickly caught the attention of Paris Saint-Germain star Achraf Hakimi, who responded with a message that has since sparked conversations among Moroccan football fans.

“The season is not over yet,” Hakimi wrote, hinting at the possibility that the youngster could still have a role to play with the Atlas Lions ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Hakimi’s reaction has increased speculation that Jassim may be on the radar of the Moroccan national team coaching staff following his rapid rise and strong performances this season.
