Egypt’s pursuit of an eighth Africa Cup of Nations crown continues on Wednesday evening when the Pharaohs lock horns with Senegal in the semi-finals of the 2025 tournament at the Ibn Battouta Stadium in Tangier, Morocco.
With a place in the final at stake, the encounter promises high intensity as two of Africa’s most decorated sides renew their rivalry on the continental stage.
The Pharaohs arrived at AFCON 2025 with clear ambition and have backed it up with strong performances throughout the competition. Egypt finished top of their group with seven points, before easing past Benin with a 3-1 victory in the round of 16.
Their quarter-final outing against Ivory Coast proved far more demanding, but a dramatic 3-2 win saw them eliminate the defending champions and book their place in the last four.
Senegal have also impressed with a composed and efficient run to the semi-finals. The reigning champions topped their group with seven points, overcame Sudan in the round of 16, and then edged past Mali by a single goal in the quarter-finals to underline their credentials as serious contenders once again.
The semi-final meeting between Egypt and Senegal is widely viewed as a defining test for both teams, given their shared ambition of reaching the final and keeping their continental dream alive.
The winner of this heavyweight clash will go on to face either Morocco or Nigeria in the final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, setting the stage for a blockbuster conclusion to the tournament.
