⚽ Egypt lost the AfCON U-23 final against Morocco yesterday in a match that ended with a 2-1 score in favor of the host country, although the Pharaohs still managed to secure their spot in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Despite the second-place finish, accolades were in order: Team captain Ibrahim Adel was named Best Player in the championship, while Hamza Alaa was named Best Goalkeeper. Several international clubs — including Belgium’s Anderlecht — have expressed their interest in poaching Adel after the championship, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Match-wise, today is relatively quiet. One Egyptian Premier League match will be played between Al Masry and Pharco at 8:30pm tonight as a part of the 33rd gameweek. Al Masry is ranked fifth in the league with 44 points, while Pharco is at ninth place with 41 points.
