Toulan has arranged a training camp from 1 to 9 September to prepare the squad ahead of the tournament.
Former Arsenal midfielder Elneny, 33, who currently plays for Al Jazeera in the UAE, will lead the team.
The squad features seasoned players such as Ahly winger Hussein El-Shahat, Ceramica Cleopatra midfielder Amr El-Sulaya, and Zamalek defenders Omar Gaber and Mahmoud "El-Wensh" Hamdi.
Egypt has been drawn into Group C alongside Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, and the winner of the qualifier between Mauritania and Kuwait.
The Local Organizing Committee confirmed that the 2025 Arab Cup prize money will exceed $36.5 million — a record amount intended to elevate the tournament’s stature on the international football stage.
The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) has decided to field a B national team in the Arab Cup, with the senior side competing in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2025) at the same time. AFCON 2025 will be held in Morocco from 21 Dec. to 18 Jan.
