Abdennour Belhocini has emerged as the leading scorer in the CAF Confederation Cup after the group phase, placing the CR Belouizdad forward at the top of the tournament charts as the knockout rounds approach.
The striker has scored four goals in the 2025/26 edition, giving him a narrow advantage over a cluster of challengers who remain firmly in contention.
His tally sets the early benchmark following the completion of the group stage, where attacking performances have begun to define the individual race alongside the broader competition.
Belhocini’s closest rivals are Beni Namboka of AS Maniema Union, Pomi Nzaou of AS Otoho, Soufian El Moudane representing Olympic Safi, and Dramane Kamagate of USM Alger.
Each player has found the net three times, keeping the scoring contest tightly packed as the tournament moves into its decisive phase.
Beyond the leading group, several players have registered two goals, highlighting the competitive balance among attacking units across the qualified teams.
With margins so narrow, a single performance in the knockout rounds could quickly alter the standings.
All of the leading scorers remain active in the competition after their clubs secured progression beyond the group stage.
That continuity ensures the individual race will unfold alongside the battle for continental success, adding another layer of intrigue to the fixtures ahead.
The developing scoring chart reflects the attacking quality displayed throughout the group matches and sets the stage for a potentially fluid contest in the latter rounds.
With players separated by only a goal, the chase for the top scorer title remains unresolved, promising further shifts as the Confederation Cup advances.
