Egypt’s national team enters a decisive test against Djibouti, scheduled for Thursday evening at the Al Arabi Al Zouali Stadium in Morocco, as part of the ninth round of Africa’s qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
Egypt currently leads Group A with 20 points, built from six wins and two draws, five points clear of Burkina Faso in second place.
The Pharaohs, coached by Hossam Hassan, need just one point from their remaining two matches against Djibouti and Guinea-Bissau to clinch a spot at the World Cup, after missing the 2022 edition.
This preview from Kooora outlines how to watch the Djibouti vs Egypt clash in Africa’s 2026 qualifiers.
