Djibouti vs Egypt Live Streaming: Watch 2026 FIFA World Cup CAF qualifiers on Oct 8, 2025. Kick-off time, predicted lineups, match preview, and global broadcast info.
Djibouti vs Egypt, Live Streaming, CAF World Cup Qualifiers: Djibouti have a tall order as they receive African giants Egypt in the CAF qualifiers of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The match is on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at Stade Larbi Zaouli, with the game starting at 21:30 local time. Egypt are mere steps away from booking their North American spot in next year's World Cup, comfortably placed at the top of Group A with a five-point cushion over Burkina Faso.
Djibouti, however, are still propping up the table with only a solitary point from their first eight games. Recent form has been cruel to them, especially a 2-0 loss to Guinea-Bissau in September, showing the mountain to climb against the Pharaohs.
Egypt have been close to flawless in qualifying under the guidance of coach Rui Vitoria, remaining undefeated with six victories and two draws. Mohamed Salah remains their chief attacking threat together with Omar Marmoush, though Marmoush is out of this game injured. Trezeguet is likely to fill the void up front, seeking to add Egypt's firepower in attack.
Djibouti will bank on their goalkeeper Omar Mohamed, who had an impressive outing in the last round, to maintain their defensive lines. Forwards such as Gabriel Dadzie and Samuel Akinbinu have been curtailed, prompting coach Nado to have minimal attacking options.
Djibouti go into this confrontation as stark underdogs, having difficulties in scoring and leaking goals in their last games. Egypt, on the other hand, have shown defensive strength and attacking potency during the qualifiers. Their past encounters also lay in Egypt's favor, with three previous games won by the Pharaohs, including a 6-0 triumph in 2023.
The secret for Djibouti will be to keep it tight and take advantage of counter-attacking chances. For Egypt, staying at their offensive pace and providing Mohamed Salah with support from Trezeguet and other players will most probably seal the anticipated victory.
Djibouti Likely XI: Argawinata; Ridho, Idzes, Hubner; Sayuri, Haye, Pelupessy, Verdonk; Vikri, Sananta, Kambuaya
Egypt Possible XI: Al-Aqidi; Al-Amri, Boushal, Al-Tambakti, Al-Harbi; Al-Dawsari, Kanno, Al-Hassan, Ali; Al-Shehri, Al-Buraikan
