Qatar striker surpasses Son Heung-min in World Cup qualifiers

Qatar's Almoez Ali leads the list of top scorers in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Asia with 12 goals. The 29-year-old striker continues to maintain his form, leading the Qatar team's attack for many years.

Son Heung-min is right behind Ali with 10 goals. Like the Qatari striker, Son is also a leader in the attack, shouldering the responsibility of scoring goals for the Korean team in the World Cup qualifiers.

Having the same number of goals as Son is Mehdi Taremi , the number one scorer in Iranian football. This season, Taremi also maintained stable form at club level with 4 goals in 7 matches in Olympiakos' shirt.

Ali Olwan , an Iraqi striker, is fourth with 9 goals. However, the Iraqi team has not yet won a direct ticket to the 2026 World Cup but will have to play a play-off with the UAE.

Ayase Ueda was Japan's top scorer in the qualifying round with eight goals. He just scored one goal in Japan's 3-2 win over Brazil in a friendly on October 14.

Sardar Azmoun , another Iranian star, also has 8 goals since the start of the qualifiers. Together with Taremi, he is expected to lead the Iranian team's attack at the 2026 World Cup.

In addition, Aymen Hussein (18 - Iraq), Fabio Lima (UAE) and Yazan Al-Naimat (Jordan) all reached the 8-goal mark, joining the group of best strikers in the qualifying round.

Ronaldo's sad moment On the morning of October 15, Cristiano Ronaldo was disappointed when Portugal could not get an early ticket to the 2026 World Cup because Hungary equalized 2-2 in the last minute.
