Egypt has officially secured its place in the next World Cup, becoming the third African nation to qualify. The Pharaohs secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Djibouti, thanks to goals from Ibrahim Adel and Mohamed Salah. With an unbeaten record in their group stage, Egypt will join fellow qualifiers Morocco and Tunisia at the tournament in North America next year. Meanwhile, the excitement continues for other contenders. Ghana edged closer to qualification after a 5-0 win over the Central African Republic, needing just a point in their final game against Comoros. Cape Verde had a last-minute winner wrongly disallowed for offside in a thrilling 3-3 draw, forcing them to wait until their final fixture for a chance to secure a historic, first-time qualification.
