Moroccan international footballer, Achraf Hakimi on Friday, became a sensation when his wife, Hiba Abouk, discovered during a divorce process that though he is a multimillionaire, he does not actually own a thing as every of his money and assets was in his mother’s name.

Abouk had filed for divorce after three years of marriage and demanded over 50% of the PSG defender’s assets and wealth, but during the court hearing, it came to light that Hakimi possessed no belongings as he had transferred his complete fortune to his mother’s ownership a long time ago.

According to reports, the 36-year-old Abouk found out, to her shock, that Hakimi, 24, had registered all his properties and monies in his mother’s name, and whenever he needed anything, he would ask his mother to buy it for him.

“All his houses, cars, clothes, and jewelry were found to be in his mother’s name, and millions in salary were deposited in accounts bearing his mother’s name,” the report said.

The report added that 80 percent of all that Hakimi owns is registered in his mother’s name and as such, there is no way Abouk, an actress, will be able to claim a half of his wealth.

The couple got married in 2020 and have two sons. Abouk reportedly filed for divorce around March 2023 after the French police placed Hakimi under investigated following a rape accusation lodged against him by a French woman.

Abouk is a Spanish actress who was born to a Tunisian father and a Spanish mother. Her father is a Tunisian engineer who immigrated to Spain, and her mother is a Spanish housewife.

She is best known for her work in television and film, having appeared in several popular Spanish TV series and films, gaining nominations for several awards for her acting, including a Feroz Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series.

She made her acting debut in 2012 in the Spanish TV series “El Secreto de Puente Viejo” and gained worldwide recognition for her role as Fátima Ben Barek in the Spanish TV series “El Príncipe”.

Abouk is renowned for her charitable endeavours and has publicly supported a number of charity initiatives, including in children’s health and education.

She teamed up with the non-profit “Save the Children” in 2015 to establish the “Rompe el Silencio” campaign, which aimed to increase public awareness of child abuse and reported to have a net worth of €3.1 million.

Ghana and Leicester City winger, Abdul Fatawu, has been ruled out of the rest of the EPL season after suffering an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury during Ghana’s 1-1 draw with Angola in a 2025 AFCON match during the international break.

Leicester coach, Steve Cooper, who announced the news on Thursday, said the 20-year-old enterprising player suffered a “serious” knee injury which will see him out for the rest of the season.

“It’s not good, it’s a serious injury,” Cooper said ahead of his side’s home tie against Chelsea on Saturday.

“He’s had an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury that is going to rule him out for the rest of the season. It’s a real blow, first and foremost for him, being a young player and having an injury as serious as what an ACL is.

“Albeit, it can be quite common in sport and in particular football, but it’s still a serious injury. For it to happen at a young age is a blow for him and a blow for us as well.

“He’s obviously a big talent and a young player, as exciting as he can be at his age, with lots to learn.

“It’s only a pause and we will make sure, as difficult as it is at the moment for him, that he comes back being a stronger player and person, which with the mentality and character that he has, I think will be the case,” the gaffer said.

Fatawu has been a key player for the Foxes, helping them gain promotion last season and has played 11 times for them in the league during the present campaign, scoring two goals.

South African football legend, Lucas “Masterpieces” Moripe, has passed away at the age of 71 after a long battle with illness.

According to South African media, Moripe lit up the country’s football fields in the 1970s and became a rallying point for football in the country, especially in the apartheid era.

“Moripe, who mesmerised opponents and spectators alike during an injury ravaged career, spent his last years confined to a wheelchair after suffering a stroke, and died at his home on Tuesday at the age of 71,” one media report said.

“Moripe, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest players the country has produced by those who saw him play, was called “the god of football”’ by adoring fans during the early 1970s in a nod to his natural talents.

“He was feared by defenders and goalkeepers and his style of play was synonymous with flair, finesse and the golden era of South African football.

“In recent years Moripe was confined to a wheelchair after suffering a mild stroke that was worsened by the effects of a long-term knee injury that stopped his playing career in the late 1980s.

“Throughout his career, Moripe played for the Orlando Pirates and the Pretoria Callies, winning the respect of both teammates and supporters.

“In 2010, the Atteridgeville Super Stadium was renamed the Lucas “Masterpieces” Moripe Stadium in honor of his noteworthy achievements to South African football. Major football games are still held at this stadium, which now stands as a tribute to his legacy.

“Moripe’s career highlights include leading Pretoria Callies to victory against top clubs and earning the 1973 NPSL Player of the Year and Sportsman of the Year titles.

“He also played internationally for Caroline Hill in Hong Kong and briefly for Orlando Pirates. Persistent knee injuries ended his playing career in the late 1980s.”
