Qatari Mohammed Salim Al Ennazy of Al Wahda Club was crowned the UAE league's top scorer with 22 goals in 17 matches. Ennazy's goals helped Al Wahda win the league championship for the second time in three years.

Mohammed Ennazy began playing for Al Wahda from the fifth stage of the league, after replacing Congo striker Jerry Tendeleu, who was transferred to Ahli Fujairah. The irony is that Jerry started the season with the league champions and finished with the relegated club.

Ennazy, nick named as "Mr. Hat-trick" by the UAE media, scored three hat-tricks, and also had four-goal effort in one match. The talented striker scored goals in nine of the First division games. He failed to find the net only against Al Wasl and Emarat. Ennazy scored five goals against Al Ahli and four in Ahli Fujairah. Al Wahda scored 62 goals with Ennazy contributing a 35 per cent of the total goals, which underlines the important part he played in Wahda title win.

Sengalese Sheikh Daioob (10) topped Al Shaab's list, while Brazilian striker Sergio Ricardo, who didn't play for Al Nasr after the 13th stage as he was transferred to Al Ittihad of Saudi Arabia, took the honours with 10 goals.

Saeed Al Kass was Sharjah's top scorer with nine goals, while Iraqi Qahttan Jithayir (10) netted the most for Al Ittihad. Musstafa Khalif of Morocco (9) and Hasan Abdullah (4) topped the list for the relegated sides - Emarat Club and Ahli Fujairah.
