Egypt legend Ahmed Hassan has become the most capped player in the history of the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals, moving ahead of Cameroon’s Samuel Eto’o and Ivory Coast’s Didier Drogba.
The record was revealed in AFCON statistics tracking appearances specifically in the last-eight stage, with Hassan now sitting alone at the top of the list.
Hassan, widely known as one of Egypt’s greatest midfielders, has a rich history in the tournament and has been a key figure across several AFCON editions, building his standing through repeated deep runs with the national team.
By overtaking two of the competition’s biggest names in Eto’o and Drogba, Hassan’s quarter-final milestone adds another chapter to his lasting impact on African football and underlines his consistency on the continent’s biggest international stage.
