The Egyptian Football Association announced via its official Facebook account that national team captain Mohamed Salah has become the first Egyptian player to score in five consecutive editions of the Africa Cup of Nations. Salah found the net twice at the 2017 tournament, scored two goals in 2019, added two more in 2021, netted once in the 2023 edition, and scored again in the 2025 tournament. His latest goal came as a stoppage-time winner against Zimbabwe, sealing a dramatic 2&ndash;1 victory for Egypt. With this tally, Salah has equaled Ahmed Hassan&rsquo;s record on Egypt&rsquo;s all-time Africa Cup of Nations scorers list. He has also moved ahead of Ali Abo Gresha and Taher Abouzeid, placing him third overall, behind his coach Hossam Hassan (11 goals) and Hassan El-Shazly (12 goals).
