Egypt aims for a record-extending eighth Africa Cup of Nations title in the Ivory Coast, ushering in a fresh attacking strategy under coach Rui Vitoria. Disappointed by silver medals in 2017 and 2021, and a shock loss in 2019, Egypt transitions from a defensive foundation to a flair-driven style. Vitoria, taking charge in 2022, focused on improving offensive efficiency after inheriting a team with poor performances. Under his tenure, Egypt won 12 out of 14 games, scoring 33 goals and conceding six. The attacking prowess of stars like Mohamed Salah, Omar Marmoush, Mostafa Mohamed, and Mahmoud Trezeguet adds strength to Vitoria’s vision of balanced, attractive football. Egypt faces Mozambique, Ghana, and Cape Verde in Group B.
