As the TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) PAMOJA 2024 enters the quarter-final stage, the race for the Golden Boot has intensified, with three players currently tied at the top of the scoring chart.
Uganda’s Allan Okello, Morocco’s Oussama Lamlioui, and South Africa’s Thabiso Kutumela each sit on three goals after an action-packed group stage held across Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Though South Africa has exited the tournament, Kutumela’s clinical finishes have kept him among the top scorers, showcasing his impact on Bafana Bafana’s campaign.
Allan Okello has been instrumental in Uganda’s historic run, helping the Cranes top Group C for the first time in CHAN history. His sharp attacking instincts and ability to deliver under pressure have made him a standout performer as Uganda prepares for a high-stakes quarter-final clash against Senegal.
Meanwhile, Morocco’s Oussama Lamlioui has emerged as the creative spark for the defending champions. His three goals have driven the Atlas Lions into the knockout stage, where they will now face hosts Tanzania in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
Several players are just one goal behind the leaders, keeping the Golden Boot contest wide open. This group includes Lalaina Rafanomezantsoa (Madagascar), Mohamed Hrimat (Morocco), and local stars like Kenya’s Austine Odhiambo and Ryan Ogam, as well as Tanzania’s Clement Mzize.
