Despite facing nine-time African champions Nigeria, Ali believes Egypt remain highly motivated to deliver a spirited performance.

The captain hopes the Cleopatras can finish their campaign on a positive note and leave the tournament with pride.

“We know Nigeria are one of the strongest teams in Africa, but we want to give a good account of ourselves,” Ali was quoted by CAFonline.
