Egypt tonight face a crunch final game in Group B of the Africa Cup of Nations against a Cape Verde team which have already secured their passage to the last-16.

The Blue Sharks have won the group after beating Ghana and Mozambique, ousting two of AFCON's giants to leave them both fearing an early exit.

A pair of draws have led to Egypt needing a result to at least qualify as a best third-placed team - having reached the final in two of the past three tournaments.

Their hopes have been rocked by Mohamed Salah's injury ahead of this showdown in Abidjan.

Ghana face Mozambique in the other Group B finale, kicking off at the same time, both of which sit on a single point and one behind Egypt.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Cape Verde vs Egypt is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off today, Monday, January 22, 2024.

The match will take place at Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny in Abidjan.
