The Egypt national football team faces New Zealand in the FIFA World Cup 2026, seeking their first win after drawing with Belgium with a score of one goal each. The Egyptian team enters the match after being held to a draw against Belgium, in a game where the Pharaohs performed well and Emam Ashour managed to score the opening goal after a pass from Mohamed Salah. The New Zealand team also earned a point from their first match against Iran after an exciting draw with a score of two goals each. Hossam Hassan relies on Mohamed Salah's experience and his ability to make a difference, along with Emam Ashour and Omar Marmoush, while the New Zealand team is counting on the experience of striker Chris Wood, who made two crucial passes in the previous match. The expected lineup for the Egyptian team today against New Zealand is likely to consist of Mustafa Shobair in goal, Mohamed Hani, Basir Ibrahim, Hamdi Fathi, and Ahmed Fotouh in defense, Marwan Attia, Mohand Lasheen, and Emam Ashour in midfield, and Mohamed Salah, Mustafa Ziko, and Omar Marmoush in attack. The match will be held at BC Place Stadium on Monday, June 22, 2026, at 04:00 AM Egyptian and Saudi time, and will be broadcast on beIN Max 2, beIN Max 4, and beIN 4K HDR channels.
