Djibouti vs Egypt: Key information

Date: Wednesday 8 October 2025

Kick-off time: 7pm local time / 12pm ET / 5pm BST

► Venue: Larbi Zaouli Stadium, Morocco

► FREE stream: FIFA+ (select territories)

Salah's Egypt are the leaders in Group A of the CAF qualifying process for next summer's World Cup in the US, Canada, and Mexico.

They have won six of their eight games so far and drawn the other two, putting them on 20 points with a handy five-point lead over second-placed Burkina Faso. Victory against Djibouti will mathematically guarantee their ticket to the World Cup.

Djibouti, by contrast, are rock-bottom, with just one point, and cannot qualify for the World Cup, making Egypt the heavy favourites today.

Below are all the details you need on live streams and broadcast options to watch Egypt vs Djibouti online, on TV, and from anywhere.
