Egypt to host Malawi at Cairo International Stadium in AFCON 2027 qualifier on Nov 13

Egypt will host Malawi at the Cairo International Stadium on Friday, November 13, 2026, in a Matchday 3 Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifying fixture. Kick-off in India is scheduled for 12:30 AM IST on November 14.

Egypt opened their qualifying campaign with a 5-0 win over South Sudan in which Omar Marmoush scored twice and had earlier recorded a 0-0 home draw with Angola. Those results leave Ali Maher’s side top of Group B with four points, and, ranked 25th in the FIFA rankings, they head into the match as heavy favourites. The Pharaohs are expected to rely on Mohamed Salah and Trezeguet, with Trezeguet having scored four goals in the previous AFCON edition’s qualifiers.

Malawi sit third in Group B with three points under Zimbabwean head coach Callisto Pasuwa. The Flames began qualifying with a 2-1 home victory over South Sudan before losing 3-1 away to Angola. Malawi trail second-placed Angola by a solitary point and remain in contention for qualification.

The fixture will not be streamed online or televised live on any platforms in India. Channel 4 is identified as the official broadcasting partner for AFCON 2027, but qualifying matches will not be streamed live in the UK.

Nigerian viewers can watch the match live on SuperSport, DStv, and AfroSport TV. The game is also being shown live on beIN Sports and TOD.

A post shared by Football Association of Malawi (@malawi_fa) was circulated ahead of the match.

Both teams remain in contention to secure qualification from Group B, so the result in Cairo will directly affect the group standings.
