The CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 has set a new scoring record, becoming the highest-scoring edition in the tournament’s history with 120 goals netted ahead of Sunday’s final.

Africa’s traditional powerhouses have been at the forefront of the scoring surge. Senegal, Nigeria, hosts Morocco and CĂ´te d’Ivoire have all demonstrated attacking depth, while emerging talents have matched established stars in both influence and impact.


Morocco’s Brahim Diaz leads the scoring charts with five goals, making him one of the standout performers of the tournament.


He is followed closely by Egypt’s Mohamed Salah and Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen, who have scored four goals each. With both players set to feature in the third-place playoff on Saturday, the race for the Golden Boot remains wide open.
