Oussama Lamlioui / CHAN 2024

Oussama Lamlioui clinched the Puma trophy for top scorer of CHAN 2024 with six goals to his name. On Saturday, August 30 in Nairobi, the RS Berkane forward bagged a brace in the final against Madagascar, sealing Morocco's triumph and earning himself individual honors.

The 29-year-old striker finished ahead of Thabiso Kutumela (South Africa), Allan Okello (Uganda), and Soufiane Bayazid (Algeria), each of whom tallied three goals. This performance cements Lamlioui’s reputation as one of the continent’s most prolific forwards of his generation.

The Moroccan center-forward showed remarkable consistency throughout this CHAN 2024 campaign. From the group stage on, he found the back of the net against Zambia, DR Congo, and host nation Tanzania. His knack for scoring at crucial moments proved to be the decisive weapon for Tarik Sektioui’s squad.
