African Cup of Nations, Egypt will kick off against Cameroon for their opener in Kumasi, Ghana on Tuesday. The Pharoahs will be looking to defend the title they won on home soil last time, which would make it a record sixth continental title. Egypt still have the bulk of the squad that won on home soil two years ago, but will miss their star striker Mido who is out due to injury.

African Cup of Nations, Egypt will kick off against Cameroon for their opener in Kumasi, Ghana on Tuesday.

Cameroon will be looking to make up for their loss to Egypt, who denied them a place at the 2006 World Cup. Their star player will be Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o - a handful for any defence. But Egyptian Football Association President Samir Zaher believes that the face of African football is changing.
