IFFHS Men's World Best Goal Scorer 2024 at 31 March: Akram Afif
Akram Afif made an impressive run in March, scoring 11 goals (the most in the world during that period) to move into first place in the IFFHS global goal-scorers’ ranking.
The 27-year old Qatari forward also became the first player to reach the 20-goal mark this year.
The 2023 winner Cristiano Ronaldo has 9 goals at his tally at the end of March. He is not yet in the top 50, but given his good current form, we will probably see him there in the next monthly chart.
