As the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations approaches in Côte d’Ivoire from January 13 to February 11, 2024, Egypt is brimming with confidence.

Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, although not the star of the show in securing the three points for his team, fell victim to an attempted assault by an opposing fan, as reported by As.
