For two reasons, Egypt is one of the favorites to win the AFCON 2022. The first is that they have historically been the most successful team at the Africa Cup of Nations, having won the championship seven times in a row in 2006, 2008, and 2010.
Mo Salah is the second reason. The Liverpool striker is currently regarded as one of the top players in the world, if not the best striker in football. Salah has every incentive to lead Egypt to CAN gold after winning the Champions League and Premier League with his club Liverpool.
