Liverpool’s star player, Mohamed Salah, has landed in the Ivory Coast in preparation for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) set to commence this month. The Egyptian forward aims to secure his first international title with Egypt, adding to his impressive list of achievements. Despite Egypt’s historic success in AFCON, Salah has twice been a runner-up, including a heartbreaking loss in the 2022 final against former Liverpool teammate Sadio Mane and Senegal.

With Salah in stellar form, Egypt is considered a strong contender for the AFCON crown, alongside favorites Morocco and Senegal. Salah’s recent impactful performance in Egypt’s 2-0 victory over Tanzania in the pre-tournament warm-up reflects his commitment to success.
