Expected Egypt Lineup Against Ivory Coast in Africa Cup of Nations Quarterfinal
Hossam Hassan, the head coach of the Egyptian national team, has outlined the key features of the starting lineup for the match against Ivory Coast, which is part of the quarter-final stage of the Africa Cup of Nations, scheduled to take place this evening, Saturday, January 10.
The Egyptian national team faces the Ivorian team at the "Adrar" Stadium in the Moroccan city of Agadir at 9:00 PM Cairo time, in a crucial match to secure a spot in the semifinals.
The Egyptian national team reached the quarterfinals after defeating Benin 3-1 in the round of 16, in a match that went into extra time, while the Ivory Coast team advanced following their convincing 3-0 victory over Burkina Faso.

The expected lineup for the Egypt national team to face Ivory Coast is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Mohamed El-Shenawy
Defense line: Mohamed Hany, Yasser Ibrahim, Rami Rabia, Hossam Abdelmajid, Ahmed Fattouh
Midfield: Marwan Atiya, Hamdi Fathi, Imam Ashour
Offensive line: Omar Marmoush, Mohamed Salah
