Aubameyang has scored 30 goals in 75 caps for Gabon.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a professional footballer who represents the Gabon national football team as a forward. [1] He scored on his international debut for the side in a 2−1 away win against Morocco on 28 March 2009. [2] Since then, the 2015 African Footballer of the Year has scored 30 goals in 75 international appearances, [3] [4] making him the country's all-time top scorer. [5] He surpassed Nzué Nguema's record of 23 goals on 8 September 2018, when he scored in a 1–1 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying draw against Burundi. [6]

Aubameyang's only international hat-trick came in a 4−1 FIFA World Cup qualification home win against Niger on 15 June 2013, where all three goals were penalties, [7] and he netted twice in a match on two occasions. Out of all his opponents, he has scored the most against Burkina Faso, netting five goals against "The Stallions". Aubameyang has scored five goals in the Africa Cup of Nations, seven in Africa Cup of Nations qualification and six in FIFA World Cup qualification. The remainder of his goals, twelve, have come in friendlies. [3] Aubameyang's most productive calendar year in terms of international goals was 2015, when he scored five goals in ten games for "The Panthers". [8] Despite playing for Gabon for over a decade, Aubameyang has never played a match at the FIFA World Cup and never won an international trophy. [9]

Aubameyang's international career was frequently haunted with controversies and misfortune. He was often criticised for being absent from international duty and displaying poor on-field performances, with the team sometimes said to play better in his absence. Following a dispute with the Gabonese Football Federation in 2016, Aubameyang boycotted Gabonese media ahead of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, further separating Aubameyang's connection with Gabonese people. Nonetheless, his legacy as a reference point for Gabonese sporting excellence is evident; Gabon head coach Patrice Neveu claimed in 2022 that Aubameyang was "the greatest player in Gabon". [9]
