We will have to show another face in Morocco for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. In difficulty in the league with FC Nantes, Mostafa Mohamed has a change of scenery by returning to the Egyptian selection. On the program of Pharaohs for this international break, the last two qualifying matches for the next CAN which will take place on Moroccan soil in the winter of 2025. After a frustrating draw conceded against Cape Verde, Egypt – already qualified – once again missed of realism against a courageous selection from Botswana (1-1).
Mostafa Mohamed holder
Despite a complicated start to the season for the City of Dukes with only one goal scored in ten league games (only four as a starter), the Egyptian striker once again benefited from the confidence of Hossam Hassan who decided to select it. Entering the game four minutes against Cape Verde, the Nantais striker, looking for his first goal with Egypt since March 2024, joined the starting lineup alongside Omar Marmoush for this Tuesday’s match against Botswana.
Undefeated over the first five days of qualifying, the Egyptians were surprised very early in the game with a goal from Omaatla Kebatho (0-1, 8′)before reacting a few minutes later via Trezeguet (1-1, 15′). Largely dominant with nearly 80% possession over the entire match, the Pharaohs will try everything to take the advantage (22 shots) without managing to find the fault. Despite this first place retained, the two draws conceded during this international break will undoubtedly leave a bitter taste among the Egyptian players.
