The Egyptian women’s national team has stepped up preparations for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) with the announcement of a carefully selected squad ahead of the tournament in Morocco.
Newly appointed head coach Mohamed Kamal released the list as the North African side begins serious build-up to the continental competition.
The squad announcement signals Egypt’s intent to compete strongly at the championship, which is expected to attract Africa’s top women’s football nations.
In a statement issued by the Egyptian Football Association, invited players have been directed to report to camp on Wednesday at the National Teams Centre in 6th of October City.
The closed training camp is designed to fine-tune the team’s tactical approach and improve overall fitness levels before the tournament kicks off.
Officials say the camping programme will feature high-intensity drills, structured tactical sessions, and physical conditioning exercises to ensure the players reach peak performance.
The technical crew is focused on building cohesion within the squad while sharpening match readiness.
At WAFCON 2026, Egypt will compete in Group C alongside Malawi, Zambia, and reigning champions Nigeria.
The presence of Nigeria — Africa’s most successful women’s team — adds extra spice to the group.
The Nigeria women’s national football team, widely regarded as tournament favourites, will pose a significant challenge.
With early preparations now underway, Egypt are banking on their structured training schedule and fresh technical leadership to deliver a competitive performance in Morocco.
The North Africans will be aiming not only to advance from a tough group but also to establish themselves as serious contenders at WAFCON 2026.
