Mohamed Salah has officially become the Arabic player with the most goal contributions in FIFA World Cup history.
The Egypt national team superstar scored one goal and provided an assist during the Pharaohs’ 3-1 victory over New Zealand, continuing his dazzling World Cup legacy.
In total, Salah has netted 3 World Cup goals across the 2018 and 2026 editions, alongside 2 assists (against Belgium and New Zealand).
With this milestone, Salah ties the record for the all-time top Arabic scorer in the World Cup with 3 goals, sharing the spotlight with Saudi legends Sami Al-Jaber and Salem Al-Dawsari, Tunisia’s Wahbi Khazri, and Morocco’s Youssef En-Nesyri.
Furthermore, Salah now leads in total goal involvements with 5 contributions, tying with Wahbi Khazri. However, the Egyptian icon holds the edge, achieving this feat in just 4 matches compared to 5 games for the Tunisian star.
At 33 years old, the Liverpool winger still has a golden opportunity to break these ties and claim the records entirely for himself, with at least two matches remaining for Egypt in the 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
