Egypt: AFCON 2025, Mohamed Salah's ultimate goal | OneFootball

Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah is likely to play what could be his final Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt in Morocco. Is this the long-awaited moment to win the trophy that has eluded Liverpool's star the most?

Twice a losing finalist at AFCON, Mohamed Salah heads into the 2025 edition in Morocco with his legendary status unshaken. Yet, this particular trophy remains a glaring omission from his impressive collection. At 33, the Pharaoh knows this AFCON is a pivotal opportunity to cement his continental legacy.

At club level, Mohamed Salah's achievements are well documented, his records speak for themselves, and his influence has long transcended football. Still, with Egypt, a nearly cruel question lingers: how can a player of his stature still be chasing a major title with his country? Both individually and collectively, the Egyptian has ticked almost every box. As the attacking leader of a resurgent Liverpool since his arrival at Anfield in 2017, a two-time African Player of the Year, and a global reference at his position for nearly a decade, the Pharaoh has built a truly elite career.
