Captain of Morocco and star of Paris, Achraf Hakimi is one of the most loved players in the diaspora, and his jersey is among the most requested. But which one to choose: Paris or Morocco? It all depends on what excites you. Let's compare the two. Let's start with the player.
Hakimi, a career between two jerseys
Born in Madrid to Moroccan parents, Hakimi chose at a very young age to represent Morocco. At club level, after Real Madrid, Dortmund and Inter, he established himself in Paris, where he became one of the best right-backs in the world and lifted the Champions League.
The nickname "Atlas Lions" refers to the Moroccan national team. Essentially, choosing the Morocco jersey or the Paris jersey means choosing between national pride and club passion.
A two-time African Player of the Year, Hakimi is now a symbol, both in Paris and for an entire country. This is what makes his two jerseys so desirable.
The Paris jersey, club prestige
At club level, Hakimi wears number 2 and the Parisian colours. It's the jersey of his Champions League exploits, ideal if you follow him week after week or if you love the capital club.
For audacious Parisian designs, Sawa's limited edition Paris jerseys offer exclusive creations. And to understand the club's European epic, see our article on the Paris Champions League jersey.
Number 2, club colours, the jersey of big European nights.
The captain's armband, the red and green of the Atlas Lions. National pride.
The Morocco jersey, national pride
With the Atlas Lions, Hakimi wears the captain's armband and leads a golden generation. The red and green jersey of Morocco embodies the emotion of a historic World Cup semi-final and an entire country behind its team.
This is the ideal choice if you are passionate about the national team, especially as the 2026 World Cup approaches. We analyse the current kit in our article on the Morocco 2026 jersey, and you'll find other creations in Sawa's Morocco jerseys.
Hakimi has been voted African Player of the Year twice, a recognition that further enhances the appeal of his jersey, both for club and national team.
So, which one to choose?
There's no wrong answer, only yours. Take the Paris jersey for club prestige and European titles, or the Morocco jersey for national pride and the World Cup adventure. And there's nothing stopping you from having both. To choose your size well, our guide on how to choose your football jersey size can help.
