Morocco's Brahim Díaz currently leads the goalscoring chart at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), having netted five goals so far in the tournament.

Díaz is closely followed by two players still in contention for the title, with Nigeria's Victor Osimhen and Egypt star Mohamed Salah both on four goals apiece.
