Title: Egypt Loses to Nigeria in Africa Cup of Nations and Chooses the Difficult Path

Egypt's path to reaching the advanced stages of the Africa Cup of Nations, hosted by Cameroon from January 9 to February 6, 2022, has become difficult. The loss to Nigeria has diminished the Pharaohs' chances of progressing in the tournament, as both teams are competing for the top spot in Group D, where the leader has a significantly easier path compared to the second or third place teams if they qualify. Four teams from among the third-placed finishers will advance to the Round of 16 alongside the first and second teams from the six groups. Egypt is playing in Group D, which includes Nigeria, Sudan, and Guinea-Bissau.
