On January 14, 2026, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané will face each other again. This match will take place during the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) semifinals between Egypt and Senegal. The venue for this significant clash will be in Tangiers, Morocco. This will be their first direct matchup since the 2022 Champions League final. The 33-year-old Salah aims to lead Egypt to their eighth African title, seeking to overcome the disappointment of losing in the finals in 2017 and 2022.
