The European football landscape is currently experiencing a silent earthquake. Behind administrative closed doors and within media newsrooms, a fierce battle is raging. At the heart of it is the "Moroccan Sports Project," which continues to attract top-tier rising talents born in Europe, triggering a desperate and coordinated campaign by French and Spanish media to protect their footballing hegemony.
This exclusive report breaks down three hot files that shook the football world over the past 24 hours:
The Conspiracy Against Achraf Hakimi: Ballon d’Or & Deliberate Exclusion
The UEFA Champions League Team of the Season caused massive shockwaves after completely excluding Moroccan superstar Achraf Hakimi. This omission came despite Hakimi leading Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to the continental title, finishing as one of the tournament's top providers with 7 assists, and scoring a clinical, decisive penalty in the final.
Renowned French journalist Guillaume Jacquot, writing for Football, labeled this decision a "total farce and a major scandal," noting that it triggered immense fury among both Moroccan and Parisian supporters.
What is the real motive?
The entire plot is orchestrated to damage Hakimi’s chances in the 2026 Ballon d’Or race. The French media machinery has launched an overt propaganda campaign to push French winger Ousmane Dembélé. France Football published a feature titled: "Ousmane Dembélé on Track for his Second Ballon d’Or". Crucially, the article listed Dembélé's potential rivals (like Georgia’s Kvaratskhelia) while completely erasing Hakimi's name from the conversation. The magazine even argued that Dembélé holds an advantage due to his upcoming World Cup participation with France—conveniently forgetting that Hakimi will be leading the Atlas Lions in the exact same tournament!
In contrast, Spanish outlet AS provided a fair assessment, stating that Hakimi is a top-tier candidate, provided Morocco pulls off another historic run at the World Cup.
This deep-rooted French bias was further exposed by veteran French journalist Bertrand Latour in Le10Sport. Latour accused the PSG management of "lying" and exposed how the club, in collusion with Canal+, previously censored a raw interview with Hakimi. The club halted the broadcast of a clip where Hakimi bravely stated: "I deserve the Ballon d’Or; no right-back in the world has achieved what I have accomplished this season." The French establishment actively refuses to let Hakimi outshine Dembélé, proving that Paris has become a toxic environment for the Moroccan star, whose best option now is a exit to the Spanish La Liga or the English Premier League.
