Borussia Dortmund legend Mohamed Zidan says Egypt will be relying on Liverpool star Mohamed Salah to lead the country to glory in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Recall that the North Africans are the most successful team in the competition’s history, having won the tournament a record seven times since its inception in 1957.
However, the title has eluded them in the last seven editions, with their most recent triumph coming in Angola 2010, where they defeated Ghana 1-0 in a tightly contested final, decided by Gedo’s late strike.

Speaking with Flashscore, Zidan stated that with Salah, Egypt has a big chance of lifting the trophy in Morocco.
“Salah has already accomplished so much – he’s won the Champions League, the Premier League, been named Premier League Player of the Year, and was the top scorer. We truly hope he can now lead Egypt to victory in the African Cup,” Zidan told Flashscore.
“I truly hope so. I sincerely wish Egypt can reclaim the African Cup of Nations, especially after my generation won it three times in a row – 2006, 2008, and 2010. Since then, Egypt have yet to win it again,
“We reached the final in two tournaments but unfortunately lost both. Since 2010, we’ve lost two finals, and I truly hope Egypt can bring the trophy back home once again.”
