Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah is currently the leading goalscorer in the 2026 FIFA World CupAfrican qualifiers, with six goals to his name. His impressive form has been a key factor in Egypt’s dominant run, as the Pharaohs sit comfortably at the top of Group A with 13 points from five matches.
Salah’s closest rival is his national teammate Mahmoud Trezeguet, who has netted five goals so far. Notably, Salah extended his lead by scoring in Egypt’s 2-0 victory over Ethiopia on Friday.
Joining Trezeguet in the five-goal club are:
• Denis Bouanga (Gabon)
• Jordan Ayew (Ghana)
• Kamory Doumbia (Mali)
Ayew recently bolstered his tally with a goal in Ghana’s commanding 5-0 win over Chad, keeping the Black Stars at the top of Group I with 12 points, two points ahead of Madagascar.
Several players are also hot on their heels with four goals each:
• Musa Barrow (Gambia)
• Rayan Raveloson (Madagascar)
Others with three goals include:
• Steve Mounie (Benin)
• Bertrand Traore (Burkina Faso)
• Lassina Traore (Burkina Faso)
As Matchday 6 fixtures approach, the competition for the top scorer title remains fierce. With Salah leading the charge, all eyes will be on the Egyptian star to see if he can maintain his position at the summit.
