The 25-man squad of the Pharaohs have 19 players from the country’s domestic league who have the experience of playing in the AFCON.

“Our goal in the AFCON is to try to win every game, build a winning mentality because in March we will play the final stage of the World Cup qualifiers.
“I am confident that this squad is capable of providing the best performance in the tournament.”
In the meantime, the Pharaohs have lined up a training match against Congo as part of their preparation for the AFCON.
