The semi-final fixtures at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations have been confirmed.
This followed the completion of the quarter-final games on Saturday night.
Egypt are the last team to book their spot, following a thrilling 3-2 victory over champions Ivory Coast.
The Pharoahs raced into a two-goal lead, thanks to Omar Marmoush and Ramy Rabia.
An own goal from Ahmed Abou El Fotouh just before half time, dragged the Elephants back into the game.
But Mohamed Salah extended their lead again seven minutes after the break.
Guela Doue’s goal proved to be a mere consolation.
Egypt will now play Senegal for a place in the semi-final, while Nigeria face hosts Morocco in the other fixture.
