Achraf Hakimi, the Moroccan full-back, experienced a challenging atmosphere during his team’s victory over Scotland in Boston as part of the 2026 World Cup preparations.
Upon entering the field, Hakimi was met with significant hostility from Scottish supporters, who booed him loudly. L’Equipe reported that each time he touched the ball, the jeers and shrill noises from the stands intensified.
This adverse reaction coincided with the recent announcement of a rape trial involving Hakimi, which has drawn considerable media attention. Nonetheless, despite the difficult conditions, Morocco secured a 1-0 win against Scotland.
