Rabat — French television channel Canal+released on Sunday a special documentary titled “Immersion with Hakimi,” offering an intimate portrait of Moroccan football icon Achraf Hakimi as he works tirelessly to return to full fitness ahead of AFCON 2025, which Morocco will host next month.
Narrated by French journalist Bertrand Latour and filmed during Hakimi’s recent trip to Morocco for the CAF Awards, the report captures the defender far from the spotlight of Paris Saint-Germain. Instead, it shows a man fully focused on recovery: early-morning gym sessions, physiotherapy, and up to six hours of training per day. In one striking detail, Hakimi is still seen moving around on a scooter as he continues healing from injury.
National-team coach Walid Regragui appears in the documentary, describing Hakimi as both a “monster” and a “machine,” praising not only his star player’s athleticism but his unmistakably elite mentality. The episode highlights a player who refuses to let setbacks define him, maintaining a positive attitude and sharp competitive edge despite the pressure surrounding his timeline for return.

Beyond the physical challenge, the video report focuses on Hakimi’s mental strength. The PSG star speaks openly about his ambition to lead Morocco on home soil and about the personal resilience required during difficult moments in his career, including the intense public attention he has faced in recent months.
As Morocco prepares to host one of the most anticipated editions of the Africa Cup of Nations, Atlas Lions fans will see in Hakimi’s determination a prized symbol of national pride. The documentary ultimately portrays a leader committed to returning stronger—ready to carry the hopes of millions when AFCON 2025 kicks off.
