Morocco’s attacking talisman, Brahim Díaz, has been named the Puma Golden Boot winner of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 after an outstanding goal-scoring run that lit up the tournament.
Spurred on by fervent home support, the Atlas Lions forward finished as the competition’s top scorer, capping a remarkable year in which he had already claimed the leading scorer honour during the AFCON 2025 qualifiers. Achieving both feats in the same cycle highlighted Díaz’s consistency, reliability, and growing influence within the national team.
Díaz closed the finals with five goals, a tally no other player could match, ensuring the Golden Boot remained firmly in Moroccan hands despite the hosts falling short of lifting the trophy.
His AFCON 2025 campaign was defined by decisive contributions at key moments. The Real Madrid attacker opened Morocco’s scoring in a 2–0 victory over Comoros, before finding the net again in a tightly contested 1–1 draw against Mali.
He went on to produce a standout performance in the group stage with a brace against Zambia, sealing a dominant win and underlining his attacking threat. Díaz maintained his momentum in the knockout rounds, scoring against Tanzania in the Round of 16 and adding another crucial goal against Cameroon in the quarter-finals.
By scoring in five separate matches, Díaz joined a select group of players in AFCON history to register goals across multiple consecutive games in a single tournament — a testament to his consistency at the highest level.
The Puma Golden Boot crowns a historic AFCON outing for Díaz, cementing his place among Morocco’s most prolific performers in a single edition of the competition and setting a new standard for sustained excellence on the continental stage.
