The results of the Arab nations’ voting are as follows:
– Second place: Bahrain, Iraq, Qatar, United Arab Emirates
– Third place: Tunisia, Oman, Saudi Arabia
– Fourth place: Palestine, Egypt

The voting by Arab countries underscores their appreciation for the player’s contributions and his substantial impact on global football, as Hakimi has become a prominent name in individual competitions alongside the top stars of the game.
