Hakimi was included in the starting lineup for the Moroccan national team in their match against Brazil, which took place yesterday evening, American time, in the first round of Group C in the group stage of the World Cup currently being held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Hakimi has now become the most capped Moroccan player in World Cup history, having played his 11th match in the tournament, thus breaking his tie with compatriot Hakim Ziyech, who played 10 matches in the competition.
