Watch Egypt vs Ivory Coast at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations today, as FourFourTwo brings you a comprehensive guide on live streams and TV coverage wherever you are in the world.

Egypt required extra time to see off Benin in the last-16, and will arguably face a tougher test as they face the reigning holders Ivory Coast.

The Pharaohs are now unbeaten in 14 games against African opponents, despite not blowing anybody away as they advanced in the last eight.

Ivory Coast recorded their biggest victory of the tournament so far, beating Burkina Faso 3-0 thanks to a wonderful display from Amad.

The Manchester United forward has seen a huge change at Old Trafford whilst away at the competition, but scored and assisted in the success to continue his fine form.

Egypt vs Ivory Coast: Preview

Hossam Hassan’s team have made it this far, but many expect reigning champions Ivory Coast to be too big a challenge on Saturday evening.

However, the last time the two sides met, it was the Pharaohs who came out on top on penalties, after drawing 0-0 in regulation time.

Salah, with his future at Liverpool still up in the air, has three goals in four games and will be hoping to continue his goalscoring form.

Not much is expected to change in terms of Egypt’s starting XI, with Man City's Omar Marmoush once again predicted to partner Salah in attack.

The holders are looking to make it back-to-back AFCON titles, with superstar Amad continuing to shine for the Elephants.

The Man Utd winger has three Man of the Match trophies to his name, and has arguably been alongside Morocco's Brahim Diaz as a contender for Player of the Tournament up to this point.

It's three goals for the former Atalanta man, who cheekily dinked the ball over Burkina Faso Herve Koffi to score in the last-16.

Manager Emerse Fae will have to consider who replaces the suspended Christ Inao Oulai, who accumulated another yellow card last time out, and is forced to sit this one out.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Egypt 1-3 Ivory Coast

The holders will likely prove too powerful for Egypt, and we expect them to book a spot in the last four.
