Egyptian football superstar Mohamed Salah has made history by becoming Egypt’s all-time leading goalscorer, surpassing legendary striker Hossam Hassan with 70 international goals.
The Liverpool forward reached the remarkable milestone after scoring a brace in Egypt’s emphatic 5-0 victory over Malawi, further cementing his place among the greatest players to have represented the Pharaohs.
Salah’s two goals took his international tally to 70, moving him clear of Hossam Hassan, who previously held the record with 69 goals for the Egyptian national team.
The achievement represents another significant milestone in the remarkable career of the 34-year-old forward, whose consistency, attacking quality and leadership have made him one of Africa’s most celebrated footballers.
Nicknamed the Egyptian King, Salah has continued to deliver outstanding performances for both club and country, establishing himself as a key figure in Egypt’s pursuit of continental and international success.
His latest record-breaking performance against Malawi further highlights his importance to the national team and his enduring influence on Egyptian football.
Surpassing Hossam Hassan is particularly significant considering the legendary striker’s contribution to Egyptian football over several decades.
With 70 international goals and counting, Salah now stands alone at the summit of Egypt’s all-time scoring chart.
The milestone adds another historic chapter to his illustrious career and strengthens his legacy as one of the greatest Egyptian footballers of all time.
