“It is an honour and a source of happiness to start the tournament by facing a big football team like Nigeria,” Queiroz said in the pre-Nigeria game press conference on Monday.

“Our ambition is very simple; it is winning all our games,” the former coach for Portugal and Iran added.

Egypt is playing in the prestigious continental tournament in Group D alongside Nigeria, Sudan, and Guinea Bissau.

“I have good choices in my team. We have seven games to play, and we have a strategy to deploy on the pitch,” Queiroz concluded.

Egypt is aiming for its first African Cup of Nations title since 2010.
