69 Egypt goals. CAF all-time top scorer. 4 AFCON titles. 176 caps. Most underappreciated African footballer.
Hossam Hassan is the all-time top scorer in Egypt's history with 69 international goals and holds the CAF record for most international goals by an African player. He won the Africa Cup of Nations four times with Egypt (1986, 1998, 2006, 2008) — including as captain of the 1998 team — and is Egypt's most capped outfield player with 176 international appearances. He played at a time when Egyptian football had limited global exposure, making his consistency across a 20-year international career the most underappreciated statistical achievement in African football history.
