Egypt vs Nigeria LIVE

Two African giants face off this evening in a final warm-up friendly ahead of the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations. The best of the continent are set to descend on Morocco to fight it out over four weeks, but first, two of the biggest nations will face off today for a tune-up ahead of the tournament starting on Sunday.

It remains to be seen if Mohamed Salah will play a part, having only recently joined up with the squad after leaving Liverpool over the weekend. He and Manchester City’s Omar Marmoush have arrived in Cairo, but there remain concerns over their fitness to play the game at short notice after missing training on Monday.

The entire Nigeria squad were able to train on Monday evening, including Victor Osimhen. Head coach Eric Chelle is expected to name a strong team tonight as he continues to tinker with his squad after a disappointing failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
