Egypt beat Lebanon, Sudan and Jordan on their way to the Arab Cup semi-final prior to the 2022 AFCON. They lost the semi-final to Tunisia and then lost on penalties to Qatar in the 3rd/4th place playoff.

The Pharaohs suffered defeat in their opening AFCON match 1-0 to Nigeria which put huge pressure on them going into the second match.

In a tight contest against Guinea-Bissau, Egypt eventually took one of their chances through Mohamed Salah in the 69th minute. From there they held on for a hard earned 1-0 win.
