Egypt have hosted AFCON more times than any other nation (5) and have only ever lost two knockout matches during those tournaments:

1974 vs. Zaire
2019 vs. South Africa

An incredible win for Bafana Bafana. 🇿🇦 pic.twitter.com/7QapP5AH2K

The Pharaohs dynasty ended. Egypt sent packing, sent back to hide in the pyramids for a while. Well done ⁦@BafanaBafana⁩. You have lifted the hearts of Southern Africa. #AFCON2019 pic.twitter.com/GmSiFJt9Oi
