Egypt became the third African country to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
The Pharoahs booked their spot, thanks to a 3-0 win over Djibouti on Wednesday night.
Mohamed Salah scored twice in what was a comfortable victory in Casablanca.
The result gives Egypt an unassailable five-point lead in Group A with one round remaining.
Although Egypt have won the Africa Cup of Nations a record seven times, they have been less successful in World Cup qualifying, qualifying for the tournament just four times in 15 attempts – in 1934, 1990, 2018, and now 2026.
They will join Morocco and Tunisia as the only African nations to be assured of a spot at next year’s tournament.
