Action from the 2025 Arab Cup featuring early Golden Boot contenders.

With the opening whistle of the 2025 Arab Cup, strikers wasted no time signaling their intentions, launching an early and fierce battle for the Golden Boot. Recalling the previous edition hosted in Doha in 2021, the Golden Boot was claimed by Tunisian Saïd Eddine Jaziri with 4 goals.

The opening round featured several players already making their mark, shaping the leaderboard as expectations grow for a heated race as matches continue.
