Al-Waked Enters History and Claims Title of All-Time Top Scorer in Syrian League

The veteran striker Mohammad Al-Waked, star of Al-Jaish Club, has proven to be a formidable figure in the history of Syrian football. He successfully etched his name in gold letters as the top scorer in the history of the Syrian Premier League, breaking a long-standing record.

This historic achievement came on Thursday evening during the thrilling match between Al-Jaish Club and Jableh Club in the twenty-second round of the league competition. Wakid managed to lead his team's attack and score two valuable goals, bringing his total number of goals to 170 in his long career in the league championship.

With this brace, Wakid officially surpassed the previous record held by former international top scorer Raja Rafe, whose tally stood at 169 goals (after it was long believed to be 171 goals before the verification and adjustment of official statistics).

Thus, Rafeh dropped to second place, followed by the former legend of the Hattin Club, Aref Al-Agha, in third place (after holding the record for years with 161 goals), and then the star Ziad Shaabo in fourth place with 123 goals.

The goals of the new all-time top scorer of the Syrian league, Mohammad Al-Waked, distributed over his career with local clubs are as follows: Army Club: 129 goals.

Damascus Ahli Club (formerly Al-Majd): 23 goals.

Police Club: 18 goals.

Wakid's achievement was not limited to becoming the top historical scorer, but he also added two exceptional records; he became the first player in Syrian football history to score in 19 different football seasons. It is worth noting that he had previously won the Syrian league's top scorer title on four occasions.
