Egypt also won its meeting against Ethiopia (2-0), led by Mohamed Salah. Côte d’Ivoire took the lead in defeating Burundi (1-0).

Olympique Lyonnais recently announced the return of Rachid Ghezzal, a club-trained player, after a visit to AS Monaco. This return is seen as a moment rich in emotions for the player and supporters. Ghezzal, who played 119 games with OL, expressed his joy and emotion at finding the Groupama Stadium. This reinforcement is part of the club’s development policy and reflects the players’ attachment to their training club.
