Egypt Faces Sierra Leone in World Cup Qualifier After Win Vs Ethiopia

Egypt is set to face Sierra Leone in a FIFA World Cup qualifier on Tuesday, March 25th at Cairo International Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 9:00 PM local time.

In their previous qualifier, Egypt secured a 2-0 victory over Ethiopia, with goals from Mohamed Salah and Ahmed 'Zizo' Sayed. This win solidified their lead in Group A, where they currently stand with 13 points from five matches. A victory against Sierra Leone would increase their tally to 16 points, bringing them closer to securing a spot in the World Cup.​

Sierra Leone enters the match following a 3-1 victory over Guinea-Bissau, placing them third in the group with 8 points, equal to second-placed Burkina Faso but behind on goal difference. ​

The Egyptian squad, under the guidance of coach Hossam Hassan, hopes to maintain their momentum by capitalising on their home field advantage. Sierra Leone, led by newly appointed coach Mohamed Kallon, will seek to build on their recent success to challenge the group's frontrunners.​
