The second ½ final Cameroon / Egypt, a continental classic under close surveillance - After the tragedy of January 24, 2022, security will be reinforced when matches return to the Olembe stadium, with a filtering device, and the opening of additional doors to access the enclosure.

- Clash between two nations which total 12 titles out of 32, have faced each other 24 times since 1983. - The Pharaohs will want to erase the trauma of 2017.

- What are the differences between the "Lions" of 2017 and the Cameroonian vintage 2022?

More determined beasts?

- They will be keen to finish in style in the den and chase away the ghosts of 1972.

- A standoff as tactical as psychological between the 2 Portuguese technicians?

- An undeniable offensive potential on the Indomitable Lions side, watch out for a vengeful Mo Salah who will be on a mission, and who overthrew Morocco with his teammates in the previous round!

The Reds winger is involved in 62% of the goals of a selection that dreams of an 8th crown.

- Senegal relieved, Aliou Cissé too, and Dakar jubilant after the victory against Burkina Faso!

The other Lions have cracked Stallions who sold their skin dearly and put intensity in this 1st ½ final

- Sadio Mané as the leader of a promising group which will play its 2nd final in a row! 

Around Annie Gasnier: Nabil Djellit, Frank Simon and Naïm Moniolle.

- Technique/production: Valentin Alvès/Laurent Salerno -- David Fintzel/Pierre Guérin.
