Hicham Akankam prize money
Hicham Akankam has been paid $750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 3556th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's 1500 m, and it was 7th.
The Diamond League pays by finishing place and nothing else. A published card sets what first through eighth is worth, the same figure in every discipline at that meeting, and ninth pays nothing.
The payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2023 | 1500 m | 7th | $750 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $750 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.
The World Cross Country Championships
What Hicham Akankam ran on the grass
| RACE | PLACE | MARK | EARNED | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mixed relay | - | 23:08 | - | $4,000 |
Hicham Akankam has run one race here and was paid nothing in his own name. Only the first six across the line are, $30,000 for the win down to $3,000 for 6th, and there is no appearance money underneath it. The team he ran on earned Morocco $4,000, all of it from the mixed relay, which is timed rather than scored and pays a country rather than the four who ran it. It is the federation's money rather than his, and it is not added to the $750 at the top of this page. Heran alongside Hafid Rizqy, and the Diamond League has paid them too. The cross country page holds all 10 races across two championships and the $620,000 they paid out.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Hicham Akankam won?
$750, which ranks 3556th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish in 2023.
What is Hicham Akankam's biggest Diamond League payday?
$750, for finishing 7th in the 1500 m at the 2023 Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 7th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Hicham Akankam gets paid?
Entirely by where he finishes. The series publishes one rate card a season and applies it to every discipline at every meeting, so a place is worth the same in the men's 1500 m as it is in the shot put on the same afternoon. Eight places are paid and ninth pays nothing. There is no bonus for a record and no share of a gate.
Is this everything Hicham Akankam earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Cross Country Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid him, priced off the card it published.
