Mohamed Salah hails "Best camp ever" as Egypt's AFCON title dream gathers momentum

Mohamed Salah could hardly have chosen a better moment to capture the spirit driving Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), Morocco 2025.

Fresh from a man-of-the-match performance that inspired the  to a crucial victory over Cote d’Ivoire on Saturday, the Egyptian captain offered insight into a camp overflowing with unity, belief and purpose as the AFCON journey gathers momentum.

"This has been my favorite camp ever," Salah said. "The players are all close, the comedy is non-stop. We’re fighting for each other to win the title."

Those words echoed what unfolded on the pitch. Against a formidable Ivorian side, Salah delivered when it mattered most - leading with quality, intensity and authority.

But beyond his decisive contribution with a goal and an assist, it was the togetherness of the Egyptian team that truly shone, a hallmark of successful AFCON campaigns.

Salah also took time to commend the host nation, praising Morocco’s organization of the tournament.

"I also praise the organization here in Morocco," he added. "Everything is of the highest level, security included."

As the AFCON progresses, Egypt appear to be peaking at the right time. A harmonious dressing room, elite hosting conditions and a leader in inspired form present a compelling formula for success.

For Salah and the Pharaohs, the message is clear: this AFCON is not just about individual brilliance, but about a collective fight - one built on trust, joy and an unrelenting desire to reclaim continental glory.

The Pharaohs will take on Senegal in the semi-final on Wednesday at the Ibn Batouta Stadium in Tanger.
