Seven-time Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) champions Egypt begin their TotalEnergies AFCON 2025 campaign with a Group B fixture against Zimbabwe on Monday, 22 December 2025, at Stade Adrar in Agadir, Morocco. Kick-off is scheduled for 23:00 Mecca time (20:00 GMT).

Egypt enters the tournament as one of the leading contenders, carrying the distinction of being the most successful nation in AFCON history. With high expectations across the region, the Pharaohs will be eager to make a strong opening statement in a competitive group that also features South Africa and Angola.

Captain Mohamed Salah headlines Egypt’s squad, with the Liverpool forward expected to play a decisive role through his leadership and attacking influence. He is joined by Omar Marmoush, whose pace and versatility add dynamism in the final third, and striker Mostafa Mohamed, who is expected to lead the line and provide a consistent goal threat. Together, the trio are central to Egypt’s ambitions of a deep run in the tournament.

Zimbabwe, while entering the match as underdogs, will look to rely on organisation and resilience as they aim to challenge Egypt in their opening group fixture.
