His selection as one of the 50 greatest African players of the last 50 years by CAF in 2006 cemented his status as a continental giant. Being inducted into the IFFHS All-Time Morocco Dream Team in 2022 further solidified his legacy as a national icon. His unique distinction of receiving the UNESCO Fair Play Prize highlights a rare combination of athletic excellence and moral integrity.

AwardsDolmy's trophy cabinet includes the Throne Cup (1974, 1977, 1982), the African Cup of Nations (1976), and the Gold Medal at the Mediterranean Games (1983). The UNESCO Fair Play Prize (1992) stands as his most significant individual honor, recognizing his character rather than athletic performance.
