10 Youngest Players Called Up For World Cup 2018

One of Real Madrid's young bright sparks, Spanish-born Moroccan defender Achraf Hakimi made 9 appearances in La Liga this season and contributed with two goals, earning the attention of many of Europe's big clubs in the process.

He earned his first full cap for Morocco back in 2016 and is regarded by fans as one of the country's most exciting talents. Capable of playing in the centre of defence as well as in the right back position, Achraf has played 7 times for his country so far, scoring one goal during World Cup qualification.

Known as a tricky dribbler with good passing skills, Achraf needs to work a little on the defensive side of his game but will be looking at this summer's tournament as a great learning experience. Morocco find themselves with little chance of qualification for the latter rounds, having been handed a group which contains Portugal and Spain, but they'll still be hoping to pick up a good result or two in the group stage games.
