Egyptian football star and Liverpool forward has joined the Egypt’s National Football Team’s camp in the New Administrative Capital ahead of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON), the Egyptian Football Association announced.
AFCON — scheduled to take place from 13 January until 11 February — is historically known as Egypt’s favorite tournament. Egypt is the record-holder with seven titles — the first edition of the tournament in 1957.
Egypt will play a home friendly match against Tanzania on 7 January before traveling to Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, to compete in Group B alongside Ghana, Cape Verde, and Mozambique.
