He was the top goalscorer of the CHAN 2018 taking place on home soil with 9 goals, thus making him the first player to reach that tally in a single competition, having surpassed the previous record set by Zambia's Given Singuluma who had scored 5 goals in 2009.

In 2018, El Kaabi was purchased by Hebei China Fortune for a transfer fee of €5 million.

International Career

El Kaabi made his international debut for Morocco on 13 January 2018 in a 2018 Africa Nations Championship group stage match against Mauritania, scoring 2 goals.

El Kaabi scored his first international hat trick on 17 January 2018 against Guinea.

In May 2018 he was named in Morocco's 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
