Egypt’s Road to the 2026 World Cup

After a long absence of 28 years before appearing in Russia 2018, Egypt returns to football’s biggest event with a mix of seasoned stars and fresh talent. Mohamed Salah leads the team as a key figure, coming off an incredible qualifying campaign where Egypt remained unbeaten, recording eight wins and two draws.

Manager Hossam Hassan, Egypt’s all-time top scorer, took charge in early 2024 and set up a solid defensive system that focuses on quick counterattacks. Players like Omar Marmoush, Trézéguet, and Emam Ashour provide pace and energy, but the team will face tough challenges in Group G against quality offenses.
