Time to settle the score: Bafana's long rivalry with Egypt reignited
Cape Times
|December 24, 2025
IT’S time to get even, Bafana Bafana.
CAF AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS MOROCCO 25
It is time to settle the score with the Pharaohs.Friday’s Africa Cup of Nations Group B clash between South Africa's senior national team and their Egyptian counterparts will mark the fourth meeting between the two countries situated on opposite tips of the motherland.
It is a crucial clash for both sides, with the winner set to book their place in the knockout stages with a match to spare. Both countries were 2-1 winners in their opening matches — Bafana having beaten Angola, while Egypt got the better of Zimbabwe. A recipe for a humdinger, alright!
Not that clashes between the two are ever anything but.
These, after all, are countries who have built something of an AFCON rivalry since South ‘Africas return to the international game. Three times they have met at the biennial continental showpiece, and there was no love lost on any of those occasions.
