DR Congo star Fiston Mayele hits top form at Al-Ahli Tripoli

Congolese striker Fiston Mayele has made an impressive start to life at Al-Ahli Tripoli, emerging as one of the club’s standout performers following his arrival during the last summer transfer window.

The 32-year-old centre-forward has wasted little time making his presence felt in Libya, scoring six goals in just five appearances to underline his importance to the club’s attacking ambitions.

Mayele joined Al-Ahli Tripoli as a free agent to strengthen their forward line, and his early performances suggest the club made the right decision in securing his services.

His remarkable scoring record also highlights how quickly he has adapted to his new environment, with the experienced attacker demonstrating the clinical finishing ability that made him one of the most feared forwards in African club football.

Before moving to Libya, Mayele enjoyed a successful spell with Egyptian giants Pyramids FC, where he established himself as a key figure in the club’s attack.

The Congolese international became particularly influential during his time in Egypt, consistently delivering goals and playing an important role in Pyramids FC’s domestic and continental campaigns.

He eventually departed the Egyptian outfit as the club’s all-time leading goalscorer, having registered 50 goals since joining in 2023.

His impressive record in Egypt earned him recognition as one of the continent’s most effective attacking players, and he appears determined to maintain that reputation at his new club.

Mayele’s explosive start in Libya is therefore another indication of his ability to deliver consistently at different levels of African football.

Al-Ahli Tripoli will be hoping the former Pyramids FC forward maintains his scoring form as they pursue their domestic ambitions and seek to make a strong impression in continental competitions.
