In the group stage of the FIFA World Cup, Morocco faced Scotland, with Hakimi starting at right-back. The appearance marked his 12th World Cup outing, breaking the record for most FIFA World Cup appearances by an African player.
According to statistics, Hakimi's 12 FIFA World Cup appearances surpass those of Gyan (11 appearances) and Omam-Biyik (11 appearances), making him the African player with the most World Cup caps.
Additionally, Hakimi has made 30 combined appearances across the FIFA World Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations, matching the record held by En-Nesyri for most appearances by a Moroccan player in major international tournaments.
