Egypt have named a 26-man squad for their upcoming training camp as part of preparations for the 2025 AFCON, which kicks off in December.

As part of the camp, the seven-time African champions will compete in a four-team friendly tournament featuring Iran, Cape Verde, and Uzbekistan.

Head coach Hossam Hassan has made several notable selections, including the return of Pyramids FC goalkeeper Ahmed El-Shenawy, who rejoins the senior squad for the first time since the 2023 AFCON.

Additionally, Zamalek left-back Ahmed Fatouh returns to the squad after a turbulent few months, both on and off the pitch. Likewise, former Al Ahly striker Salah Mohsen, who last played for Egypt in a World Cup qualifier against Gabon in September 2021.

On the other hand, Zamalek defender Mohamed Ismail and Ceramica Cleopatra forward Marwan Osman earn their first-ever senior call-ups.

The Pharaohs abroad contingent is led by team captain Mohamed Salah. Manchester City’s Omar Marmoush returns after recovering from injury, and Ligue 1’s Mostafa Mohamed.

  • Goalkeepers: Mohamed El-Shenawy, Ahmed El-Shenawy, Mostafa Shobeir, Mohamed Sobhi
