Morocco captain Achraf Hakimi was booed during the World Cup group phase after it was announced he will stand trial in a rape case.
Hours before Morocco’s game against Scotland on 19 June, a French appeals court confirmed that Hakimi will stand trial in a rape case.
The PSG defender, who was part of the French side’s Champions League glory in May, had appealed a February decision by an investigative judge. That ruling followed recommendations from public prosecutors that Hakimi should face trial.
He denies any wrongdoing.
The Versailles appeals court’s decision was released just hours before Morocco beat Scotland 1-0 in their Group C match, after the African side drew 1-1 with Brazil in their opening game.
