Mohamed Salah joins Egypt squad ahead of Malawi double-header in AFCON 2027 qualifiers

Egypt captain and forward Mohamed Salah has joined the national team’s training camp in Cairo ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifying matches against Malawi.

Salah arrived on Tuesday and was welcomed by Egypt coach Ali Maher as the Pharaohs began preparations for the two-legged fixture.

Egypt will host Malawi on 13 November in the first meeting, before travelling to Malawi for the return match on 17 November.

The games form part of the third and fourth rounds of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.

With Salah leading the attack, Egypt will look to use the two matches to strengthen their position in the continental qualifiers.
