Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah has achieved another career milestone, becoming Africa’s number one scorer in World Cup qualifying history. The Liverpool forward led Egypt to a triumphant 3–0 win over Djibouti, scoring twice and cementing his legacy as a record-breaking icon.
With 20 goals in World Cup qualifying matches, Salah has officially surpassed African football legends Didier Drogba and Samuel Eto’o. His achievement not only highlights his consistency but also underscores his impact on the continent’s football history.
As reported by Reuters, Salah’s brace secured Egypt’s qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, positioning the Pharaohs as one of Africa’s most formidable teams. His leadership and dedication continue to inspire fans globally.
Earlier this week, Egypt qualified for the 2026 World Cup after dominating their final group match — a result that reinforces Salah’s unmatched influence in African football.
In related coverage, the FIFA U20 World Cup saw Argentina eliminate Nigeria’s Flying Eagles in the Round of 16, showing both promise and challenges for African teams on the global stage.
Salah’s record stands as a testament to his drive, skill, and love for the game — and for Egypt, it’s only the beginning of what could be a remarkable World Cup journey.
