Friendly International
Egypt are usually too good for Burkina Faso as they have won every one of the last five H2H matches. The previous game between these two teams was played in 2024, when Egypt won 2-1 at the home stadium. That match showed that the difference between the two sides is not huge, but the Pharaohs still found a way to pick up valuable points.
Burkina Faso team overview
Burkina Faso never played at the World Cup. However, their recent Africa Cup of Nations matches showed that the Stallions significantly improved, so even the World Cup appearance wouldn't be a surprise. With three rounds left in the qualifications, Burkina Faso are five points behind Egypt, and they need a win on Tuesday evening to stay in contention for direct promotion.
After a pretty mixed record in all competitions and friendlies, Burkina Faso played in 2025, and they won 6-0 on the road against Djibouti in their most recent outing. The home side played with ten players for almost the whole match, and Burkina Faso took full advantage of that and secured a victory that will give them a lot of confidence ahead of the duel against Egypt.
After a big win against Djibouti, Burkina Faso head coach, Brama Traore, already talked about the upcoming clash against Egypt. He said, "Against Egypt, we will give everything. It's true that they are a great team that we have never managed to beat, but we will break that jinx on September 9, God willing."

Egypt team overview
Egypt are the most successful team at the Africa Cup of Nations with seven titles. However, they qualified for the World Cup only three times. The Pharaohs skipped the previous tournament, but have an ideal opportunity to return to the main stage next year in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Egypt are five points ahead of Burkina Faso and will seal the place at the tournament if they win on Tuesday evening.
Egypt played well recently as they won the last three matches in a row. In the previous game, Egypt won 2-0 at home in a friendly against Ethiopia. The home side ended the match with 63% ball possession and 11 shots on the goal, more than the opponent.
Egypt's head coach, Hossam Hassan, talked about the upcoming game in Burkina Faso after they beat Ethiopia. Hassan said, "Burkina Faso are a strong opponent. They insisted on hosting the match at home rather than in Morocco, with intervention from their head of state. But we are ready, because Egypt is a big team with great ambition."
