Last week, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan named a 28-man preliminary squad for AFCON; with Pyramids FC players and the six foreign-based players are yet to join the camp after ending their commitments with their clubs on 15 December.
Once the full squad is gathered, the team will be playing a friendly game against Nigeria on 16 December in Cairo.
The Seven-time African champions Egypt, who are seeking their first continental title since 2010, were drawn in Group B in the prestigious tournament alongside South Africa, Angola, and Zimbabwe.
The Pharaohs reached the African Cup final in both 2017 and 2021, losing to Cameroon and Senegal, respectively.
