Moroccan star Soufiane Rahimi shone at the Paris Olympics, topping the tournament’s top scorers list after scoring his fourth goal in the tournament, and allowing his country to advance to the second round after defeating Iraq.
The Moroccan star opened the scoring in the match that brought the two teams together at the end of the group stage, and added to his personal record that began with scoring a brace against Argentina and a goal against Ukraine, and the match with Iraq ended with a clean three-goal victory for Morocco.
This achievement made him surpass Moroccan football legend Ahmed Faras, who maintained his record for 52 years, and also surpassed Egyptian star Mohamed Salah in the number of goals in a single Olympic tournament.
Rahimi revealed the secret behind his distinctive celebration after scoring the goal, as he explained that raising the number 25 with his fingers was in honor of King Mohammed VI on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his accession to the throne.
Soufiane Rahimi, born on June 2, 1996, in Casablanca, is famous for his skills as a left winger and is known for his ability to control the ball, his speed, and his skill in dribbling.
Rahimi began his football career with Raja Casablanca, one of the most prominent clubs in Morocco, and helped the team achieve many achievements and was one of the main elements in the team. In 2021, Rahimi moved to Al-Ahly Club in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
