Moroccan striker Ayoub El Kaabi hits 50 league goals for Olympiacos, climbs into top 20 scorers list
Moroccan forward Ayoub El Kaabi has etched his name further into the history books in Greece after reaching a significant personal milestone with Olympiacos F.C..
The striker netted his 50th league goal for the club, earning a place among the top 20 all-time scorers in the Greek championship era.
The landmark moment arrived during Olympiacos’ 2-1 victory over Panserraikos F.C. in Round 26 of the Super League. El Kaabi found the net twice on the night, once again underlining his importance to the side. His brace took him to 50 league goals in just 79 appearances, a remarkable return that highlights his steady output since making the move to Athens in the summer of 2023.
Since his arrival, the Moroccan international has been a consistent figure in front of goal. He struck 17 league goals in his debut campaign, followed that up with 18 in his second season, and has maintained a similar rhythm this term.
Reaching the half-century mark in fewer than three full seasons is a notable achievement, particularly at a club with the stature and high standards of Olympiacos.
By entering the club’s top 20 scorers list, El Kaabi moves past former greats such as Oleg Protasov and Petros Karavitis, further cementing his influence in a relatively short period. His name now sits alongside some of the most celebrated figures in the club’s history.
His latest goals also carried immediate significance, as they secured three crucial points in a tightly contested title race. When the pressure mounted, El Kaabi once again delivered.
Now 32, he continues to combine intelligent movement with composed finishing, leading the line with quiet authority. He may not dominate headlines with theatrics, but his productivity tells its own story.
With his contract set to run until June 2026, conversations regarding his long-term future are likely to surface soon. Considering his impact, extending his stay could well be a priority for the club. For now, however, his focus remains firmly on helping Olympiacos close out the season on a high note.
