Match Info

Egypt began their CAF Cup of Nations campaign with a 2-1 victory over Benin in their Group D opener on January 6, 2026. The Pharaohs, one of the tournament favorites, secured a hard-fought win in a match that kicked off at midnight, relying on their experience to see off a stubborn Beninese side. Egypt likely took control early, but Benin fought back to equalize, setting up a tense finale before the North Africans found a late winner. The three points are crucial for Egypt's aim to top the group, while Benin showed they can be a difficult opponent for anyone. The match result sets Egypt on a positive path in their quest for a record-extending eighth continental title.
