Ghizlane Chebbak, captain of the Atlas Lionesses, finished as the top scorer of the 2024 Women's AFCON. The Moroccan vice-champion netted five goals throughout the tournament, which concluded on July 26 at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat.

Chebbak opened her account against Zambia before scoring a hat-trick against DR Congo on matchday two. Her fifth goal came in the final against Nigeria, giving Morocco the lead as early as the 12th minute. Despite the 3-2 defeat to the Super Falcons, the attacking midfielder held on to the top spot in the scorers' standings.

At 34, the Atlas Lionessesโ€™ skipper played in her third Women's AFCON and has firmly established herself as one of the leading figures in African women's football. Already joint-top scorer in 2022, Ghizlane Chebbak becomes the first Moroccan player to win the continental Golden Boot twice.
