Preview: Egypt Vs Mauritania
Egypt have made a flying start to the 2025 AFCON qualifiers, recording a 3-0 victory over Cape Verde in their opening match, followed by a 4-0 thrashing of Botswana in their second.
Trezeguet set things rolling with a brace within the opening 29 minutes of the game, before Liverpool star Mohamed Salah scored his first goal of the qualifying campaign to make it three, and Mostafa Fathi added a fourth in stoppage time.
Currently top of Group C with six points, Hossam Hassan's side will be hoping to extend their winning run in the AFCON qualifiers to eight matches when they take on Mauritania twice – at home and away – within the space of five days.
The Pharaohs are unbeaten in three previous meetings with Friday's visitors, picking up two wins and a draw – with two of those matches being in the AFCON qualifying series.
Egypt, who are unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions, are aiming to secure two wins in two competitive home matches against the Lions of Chinguetti, having picked up a 3-0 victory the last time they hosted this fixture in 2007.

About Africa Cup Of Nations Qualification:
History
The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualification matches are organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to decide the participating teams of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, the 35th edition of the international men's football championship of Africa. The qualification began with the preliminary round which ran from 21 to 26 March and will conclude with the group stage, which will be played in September, October and November, all in 2024. A total of 24 teams will qualify to play in the final tournament, including automatically-qualified hosts Morocco..
All CAF member associations entered the competition, except Eritrea and Seychelles, who were excluded from the qualifiers. The seeding was based on the FIFA World Ranking from 15 February 2024, with teams ranked 1st to 44th received a bye to the qualifying group stage, while the teams ranked 45th to 52nd had to participate in the preliminary round.
