Mohamed Salah Matches Didier Drogba's Record as Africa's Top International Scorer

The Egyptian star Mohamed Salah continues to break records with the national team, having matched the legendary Ivorian Didier Drogba's tally on the all-time list of Africa's top international goal scorers.

Salah scored the winning goal for Egypt in their 1-0 victory over South Africa during the group stage of the Africa Cup of Nations "Morocco 2025," bringing his international goal count to 65, thus tying with Drogba and sharing the fourth position among Africa's leading international scorers.

The current list of Africa's top international goal scorers is as follows:

Godfrey Chitalu (Zambia): 79 goals.

Kena Ferry (Malawi): 71 goals.

Hossam Hassan (Egypt): 69 goals.

Didier Drogba (Ivory Coast): 65 goals.

= Mohamed Salah (Egypt): 65 goals.

With these achievements, Mohamed Salah continues to etch his name in the annals of African football, solidifying his status as one of the continent's premier forwards.
