French Court confirms PSG defender, Hakimi will stand trial for rape
A French appeals court on Friday confirmed that Paris Saint-Germain defender, Achraf Hakimi, will face trial for the alleged rape of a 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 PSG right-back and captain of the Moroccan national team, whose second match of the 2026 World Cup takes place on Friday against Scotland, has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
Shortly after the Versailles Court of Appeal delivered its ruling, Hakimi wrote on X that he had been “waiting for this trial since day one”.
