Saudi Pro League top scorers 2023-24: Ronaldo breaks the league’s scoring record

The 2023-24 Saudi Pro League campaign was firmly controlled by Al-Hilal, who lifted their 19th league trophy in remarkable style. The team went through the entire season unbeaten, claiming 31 victories from 34 matches.

In the race for the Golden Boot, much of the spotlight centered on Ronaldo and other high-profile stars arriving from Europe. These marquee signings represent the ambitious project led by Saudi football authorities, aiming to assemble a new generation of “galacticos” and elevate the Saudi Pro League to a higher competitive and global level.

In this article, Nowgoalpro.net presents the Saudi Pro League top scorers 2023-24.

Saudi Pro League top scorers 2023-24

No one claimed the top spot or shattered the single-season scoring record except Ronaldo. He ended the campaign as the league’s leading marksman with 35 goals in 31 appearances, surpassing the previous record of 34 goals set by Abderrazak Hamdallah. By securing the SPL Golden Boot, Ronaldo made history as the first player ever to finish as top scorer in four different major domestic leagues: the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and the Saudi Pro League. Alongside his goal tally, he contributed 11 assists, delivering an outstanding attacking display with 46 direct goal involvements in just 31 matches.

By early 2026, Ronaldo had accumulated 117 goals for Al Nassr, shortly after celebrating his 100th strike for the club in the Saudi Super Cup. However, reports indicate that he missed two fixtures, including an important encounter against Al Ittihad, due to what was described as a protest linked to the Saudi Public Investment Fund. The disagreement was said to stem from concerns over resource distribution that allegedly favored Al Hilal.

Aleksandar Mitrović, the powerful Serbian forward, quickly proved himself as one of the most lethal finishers in the Middle East after completing a high profile transfer from the English Premier League. During the 2023 24 Saudi Pro League season, he scored 28 goals in 28 appearances for Al Hilal, finishing just behind Ronaldo in the Golden Boot standings. His contributions played a crucial role in Al Hilal’s domestic treble, as the club captured the Saudi Pro League title, the King’s Cup, and the Saudi Super Cup. In all competitions, including the AFC Champions League and other domestic tournaments, Mitrović delivered 40 goals and 8 assists across 44 matches.

Mitrović arrived at Al Hilal from Fulham, with the transfer finalized on August 19, 2023. The reported fee was around £50 million, approximately €52.6 million, marking a record sale for the London side. Prior to his departure, he had netted 111 goals in 206 appearances for Fulham and set a Championship record by scoring 43 goals in a single EFL season, the highest tally ever achieved in that competition.

The final spot in the top three was jointly occupied by Fashion Sakala and Abderrazak Hamdallah. Sakala concluded the 2023-24 campaign with 19 goals and 6 assists from 31 league appearances. He also played a vital role in Al Fayha’s AFC Champions League journey, helping the club reach the Round of 16 for the first time in its history. The Zambian forward arrived from Rangers in August 2023 for a reported fee of around £3 million, bringing an end to a productive two year spell in Scotland where he had become a supporter favorite. He continues to be Al Fayha’s key figure and has maintained his scoring form this season with 12 goals in 19 matches so far.

Hamdallah, meanwhile, remained Al Ittihad’s most dependable scorer despite the high profile signing of Karim Benzema and a challenging season for the defending champions. He equaled Sakala’s 19 league goals but did so in only 24 matches, underlining his impressive efficiency in front of goal. During that period, he climbed to second place on the league’s all time scoring list, behind only Majed Abdullah. In July 2024, he left Al Ittihad to join Al Shabab. By January 2026, he had surpassed the 150 goal milestone to become the leading scorer in the history of the Saudi Pro League era since 2008.
