Mbappe attended the match at the invitation of his friend and star of the Moroccan and Paris Saint-Germain national team, Achraf Hakimi, as the duo have been close friends since Mbappe, the 2018 world champion with France, was playing with the French capital team until he left the team in the summer of 2024 to Real Madrid.
Mbappe’s presence in the match comes in light of Hakimi’s absence from the starting lineup of the Moroccan national team, as he is still suffering from an injury he suffered with his French team last November, but Walid Regragui, the coach of the Moroccan national team, expressed his optimism about the possibility of Hakimi participating in the third round group match against Zambia, or participating starting in the knockout rounds.
The Moroccan national team opened its campaign in the African Cup by defeating Comoros with two unanswered goals last Sunday in the tournament, the competitions of which will continue until January 18.
