Mohamed Salah has added another milestone to his remarkable career, officially becoming Egypt’s all-time leading goalscorer in FIFA World Cup history.
The Liverpool forward set the new record after finding the net in Egypt’s 3–1 victory over New Zealand during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The goal not only helped the Pharaohs secure their first-ever World Cup win but also saw Salah move to the top of Egypt’s World Cup scoring charts.
Since making his World Cup debut, Salah has consistently delivered on football’s biggest stage, scoring crucial goals and carrying the hopes of millions of Egyptian fans. His latest strike further cements his legacy as one of the greatest players in Egyptian football history.
Beyond the numbers, Salah’s influence extends far beyond the pitch. Over the years, he has inspired an entire generation of young footballers, elevated the global profile of Egyptian football, and become one of the sport’s most recognisable figures.
The record arrives during a historic World Cup campaign for Egypt, with the national team enjoying one of its most successful starts to the tournament. As the Pharaohs continue their journey, Salah’s leadership and experience remain key factors in the team’s ambitions.
For Egyptian football, the moment represents another chapter in a golden era led by a player who continues to rewrite the record books and create unforgettable memories on the world stage.
