DR Congo international Fiston Mayele crowned Best Striker in Egypt after stellar season

Fiston Mayele has been honoured as the Best Striker of the 2024-2025 Egyptian Premier League at the prestigious Egyptian Football Awards, an event organised by Dear Guest (DG) Magazine, a leading publication in Egypt renowned for its coverage of lifestyle, business, and public relations.

The 31-year-old DR Congo international enjoyed an impressive campaign, finding the net eight times and registering two assists in domestic league action.

While his club narrowly missed out on clinching the national title, Mayele’s consistent brilliance ensured his name stood out among the league’s top performers.

Beyond his league contributions, Mayele’s influence was most profoundly felt on the continental stage.

He played a pivotal role in guiding his team to an historic triumph in the CAF Champions League — the club’s first-ever continental crown.

His performances in Africa’s elite competition not only solidified his status as a key figure for his club but also reinforced his reputation as one of the most lethal forwards on the continent.

This recognition is a reflection of Fiston’s hard work, professionalism, and relentless desire to improve, said a DG Magazine spokesperson during the award ceremony. His ability to deliver in crucial moments, both in the league and on the African stage, makes him a deserving winner.

The accolade adds to an already distinguished career for Mayele, who has been a consistent figure for the DR Congo national team.

Known for his sharp movements, powerful finishing, and intelligent positioning, the striker has built a reputation for being a reliable goal scorer across different leagues.

Despite facing stiff competition from a host of prolific forwards in the Egyptian top flight, Mayele’s blend of experience and composure in front of goal ultimately set him apart.

His award-winning season not only celebrates his individual brilliance but also highlights his invaluable contribution to his team’s historic African success.

As he looks ahead to the new season, Mayele remains a central figure for both club and country.

With the confidence gained from this latest honour, he will undoubtedly aim to maintain his high standards, as his club eyes domestic glory and a strong defence of their continental title.

For Fiston Mayele, this individual accolade is yet another milestone in a career marked by perseverance, consistency, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
