List of top scorers of the Asian Football Championship
The list of top scorer in the Asian Cup includes all top scorers in the competition, which has been held since 1956. The goalscorers with the most hits per tournament are listed, regardless of whether they won the “Golden Shoe” election carried out by the AFC, as the number of assists or game minutes may also be decisive there. So far, no player has been able to win the title of top scorer twice. The record goalscorer is Qatar Almoez Abdulla , who scored nine goals in 2019.
