The selected lineup included three Egyptian players, while Morocco had only one player in the team, despite the high expectations that followed their strong displays in the tournament.
The announcement drew attention because it highlighted players from teams that made a big impact across the competition, while leaving out other names that many fans and observers expected to see.
The revealed XI underlined the influence of Egypt’s top performers throughout the tournament, as they managed to secure three places in the final selection, ahead of several other contenders.
At the same time, Morocco’s presence was limited to a single representative, in one of the most talked-about details after the publication of the team.
The best XI selection quickly sparked debate, with supporters reacting to the choices and the balance of representation across the tournament’s standout squads.
