The presence of Hilal El-Helwe stands out in the Lebanese team. The 27-year-old striker is one of the important men in the team's attack, standing out in tournaments such as the qualification to the World Cup in Qatar.

In the Egyptian team, the presence of Mohamed Sherif stands out. The 25-year-old striker is one of the most important men in the team's offensive game and in the absence of Mohamed Salah in the tournament, he will be the main reference in attack.

These two teams have met six times, although all of them have been friendly matches, so this will be the first official game between the two teams. The statistics largely favor the Egyptians, who have won five matches, while the remaining one ended in a draw.

Lebanon is looking for a surprise in group D of the competition. Despite not being labeled as favorites, they have worked hard to try to do well.

Egypt comes in as one of the candidates to win the title. However, they must be wary of every opponent they face to prove their favoritism.

The Egypt vs Lebanon match will be played at the Al Thumama Stadium. This stadium, located in Doha, the capital of Qatar and inaugurated only in October 2021, has a capacity of 40,000 spectators.
