The Egypt vs Sierra Leone match in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, scheduled for, March 25, 2025, at 19:00 GMT at Cairo International Stadium, is a pivotal encounter in Group A.
This game is not just about accumulating points but also about asserting dominance and shaping the qualification path for both teams.
Group A consists of six teams: Egypt, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, and Djibouti. Despite Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Guinea Bissau, and Djibouti playing six games the Pharaohs still lead the group with 13 points after five games.
Egypt, under coach Hossam Hassan, has been in excellent form, with their latest victory being a 2-0 win against Ethiopia on March 21, 2025. Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool forward, opened the scoring in the 31st minute and provided an assist for Ahmed Sayed’s goal nine minutes later, highlighting his pivotal role. Trezeguet, who netted both goals in a previous reverse fixture against Sierra Leone will likely start for the Egyptians.
Sierra Leone, managed by Mohammed Kallon, has shown resilience, particularly in their recent 3-1 win over Guinea-Bissau. Their attacking line is led by captain Mustapha Bundu, who scored in the 19th minute of that match. Bo Rangers FC striker Musa Kamara is also another attacking weapon for the Leone Stars.
Given Egypt’s strong home form and recent performances, it seems likely they will secure a 2-0 victory, further solidifying their group lead.
