Egypt vs South Africa: AFCON 2025

Egypt and South Africa both won their opening matches and are competing to top Group B, which influences their opponents in the round of 16, tournament organizers said.

  • On Friday, at 08:30 p.m., Egypt and South Africa face off at Adrar Stadium in Agadir in a Group B AFCON clash covered live via a blog.
  • After opening victories, the Egypt national team beat Zimbabwe and South Africa national team edged Angola, renewing stakes following their 1998 AFCON final clash.
  • Line-Ups show both captains and focal forwards selected as Mohamed Salah scored a stoppage-time winner and Lyle Foster netted late, with both starting in the Egypt XI and South Africa XI.
  • The result will shape who tops Group B, with the top two finishers advancing to the round of 16 and runner-up possibly facing Ivory Coast.
  • Tournament context elevates the stakes for both sides as Morocco, host nation and pre-tournament favourites, and South Africa’s opening match in Marrakesh featuring a VAR offside reversal add tension.
