Egypt coach Hossam Hassan says the Pharaohs are prepared to face any team in the round of 16 of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Hassan, who won the Africa Cup of Nations three times as a player in 1986, 1998, and 2006, stated this after the team was held to a goalless draw against Angola in their final Group B game on Monday. Egypt finished top of Group B with seven points, while South Africa, who defeated Zimbabwe 3–2, finished second.

Speaking with the Egyptian Football Association on its official Facebook page, Hassan stated that he’s impressed with the general performance of his players.
“We are ready to face any team in the round of 16. The next stage will be tough, and the competition is strong. We will work on increasing the positives in the next match and correcting the negatives,” Hassan said.
“I am satisfied with the performance of those who played for the first time in the Africa Cup of Nations. The aim of the Angola match was to test more players.”
