CAIRO, 22 December 2025: Hossam Hassan has finalized Egypt’s expected starting lineup for the opening Group B match against Zimbabwe at the Africa Cup of Nations (Morocco 2025). The Pharaohs are aiming for a strong start as they begin their campaign in a group that also includes Angola and South Africa.
The Egyptian national team is determined to secure an opening victory to build momentum and take an early step toward qualification for the knockout stages. Coaching staff and players alike are fully focused on delivering a positive result in the first match, which is often considered key to shaping the team’s tournament journey.
Egypt are expected to line up with an attacking formation led by captain Mohamed Salah of Liverpool, supported in attack by Omar Marmoush and Mostafa Mohamed. Hassan is also set to rely on Ahmed Sayed “Zizo” and Mahmoud Hassan “Trezeguet,” underlining a bold approach with five attack-minded players in the starting XI.
The match against Zimbabwe is scheduled to kick off at 10:00 PM Cairo time, as Egypt look to make a confident opening statement in Morocco. The Pharaohs will then face South Africa on December 26 before concluding the group stage against Angola on December 29, with qualification firmly in their sights.
