Morocco faces Zambia this Friday, June 7 at 8 p.m. as part of the third day of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, at the Adrar stadium in Agadir. This match will offer Hakim Ziyech the opportunity to get closer to the title of second top scorer in the history of the selection.
The Moroccan magician, Hakim Ziyech, on his way to further mark the history of Mountakhab. Since his first selection in November 2015, the Galatasaray player has scored 22 goals in 60 matches. This number makes him the third highest scorer in the national team. On average, the Moroccan winger scores a goal every 0.37 matches.
Ziyech, despite his 31 spring, still has every chance of approaching second in the ranking.
The second top scorer, Salaheddine Bassir, has 27 goals in 59 matches. Having passed through the selection between 1994 and 2002, the former Raja Casablanca player scored almost one game in two (0.47).
These statistics are still far from those of the Atlas Lions’ top scorer, Ahmed Faras. The player, loyal to SCC Mohammedia with whom he spent his entire career, played for 14 years with Mountakhab, from 1965 to 1979. In total, Faras scored 36 times in 94 matches, or a goal every 0.38 matches.
Among the other most prolific Moroccans are:
– Fourth, Youssef En-Nesyri: 20 goals in 71 matches (0.28)
– Fifth, Abdeljalil Hadda known as “Camacho”: 19 goals in 48 matches (0.39)
– Sixth, Hassan Amcharrat: 18 goals in 39 matches (0.46)
– Seventh, Marouane Chamakh: 17 goals in 65 matches (0.26)
– Eighth, Abdeslam Laghrissi: 17 goals in 35 matches (0.48)
