Is Senegal vs Egypt on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Afcon semi-final

Mohamed Salah will hope to inspire more Africa Cup of Nations magic as his Egypt side take on Senegal for a place in the tournament’s final.

The Pharaohs sent defending champions Ivory Coast packing in the quarter-finals, with Salah getting on the scoring again as his goal proved decisive in a five-goal thriller in Agadir.

They take on the Teranga Lions, who arguably had the easiest quarter-final assignment of the eight as they dispatched Mali in convincing fashion.

The winner of the tie will set up a finale clash with either host nation Morocco or free-scoring Nigeria in Sunday’s final in Rabat.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Senegal’s clash with Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals kicks off at 5pm GMT at the Stade Ibn-Batouta in Tangier, Morocco.

Viewers in the UK can watch the game for free on E4, with coverage starting at 4:30pm. Fans can also stream the game online using Channel 4’s online streaming service.

Senegal have a fully fit squad to lean on so will look to captain Sadio Mane for inspiration, who has registered three assists for the Teranga Lions this campaign. Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye scored the opener in their semi-final triumph and will also be a major threat, while Nicolas Jackson will be vying to start.

Egypt will once again plead that Salah puts in a hero’s performances as the Pharaohs hope to keep hopes of a first Afcon title since 2010 alive. Manchester City’s Omar Marmoush will also be a major threat, on a high off his goal against Ivory Coast. However, defender Mohamed Hamdi is still not be available due to a knee injury.
