World Cup 2026: Arab and African Footballers Smash Global Data Records

Elite Arab and African footballers illuminated the World Cup 2026 this July shattering data records across major global analytics platforms.

Moroccan Masters Dominate the Ratings

According to live data compiled from FotMob and Sofascore, Morocco emerged as the most analytically dominant African nation in the tournament.

Wing back Achraf Hakimi led the pack with a stellar 7.99 average rating on FotMob, orchestrating play with 14 chances created from the flank.

In midfield, Azzedine Ounahi delivered a flawless performance against Canada earning a 9.0 rating and a spot in Sofascore's Team of the Day.

Creative maestro Brahim Díaz mirrored this excellence securing a 9/10 match rating from Sports Mole and racking up four tournament assists while goalkeeper Yassine Bounou and young forward Ismael Saibari anchored the team's statistical balance.

Egyptian Icons Leave an Analytical Mark

Despite a dramatic exit, Egypt's top talent commanded massive respect from data analysts.

According to a certified match report from WhoScored, captain Mohamed Salah earned an elite 8.10 rating against Australia completing three successful dribbles and carving open the defense with five key passes.

FotMob data confirms Salah created 16 total scoring opportunities throughout the tournament trailing only Belgium's Leandro Trossard globally.

Between the posts, Mostafa Shobeir became Egypt’s highest rated player with a 7.51 FotMob score registering a 66.7% save rate while attacker Mostafa Zico proved highly efficient with three direct goal contributions.

Senegal's Lethal Attackers

The Teranga Lions provided some of the tournament's most explosive individual numbers. Sofascore tracked a nearly perfect individual display from Pape Gueye against Iraq where the midfielder earned an astonishing 9.9 rating by scoring twice and assisting once in a mere 33 minute cameo.

On a macro level, FotMob identifies Ismaïla Sarr as Senegal’s most consistent asset finishing his campaign with four goals, five goal involvements and a team high 7.99 overall rating.
