Maral Torkaman Wins Topscorer Accolade in 2025 AFC Women's Futsal Asian Cup

The 22-year-old cemented her status as one of Asia’s brightest futsal stars on her competition debut, showcasing her deadly finishing and also adding one assist.

The Palayesh Naft Abadan player’s brace in the 3-1 third-place playoff win against the host made it six goals in as many matches, which took her clear of Chinese Taipei’s Liu Wen Ling and Thailand's Jenjira Bubpha - both with five goals - at the top of the scoring charts.

Torkaman became the third different player in as many editions to claim the accolade after Chikage Kichibayashi of Japan (2015) and Sara Shirbeigi of Iran (2018).
