The Egypt National Football Team is preparing for a strong competition in the FIFA World Cup 2026 after missing the previous edition. The Egyptian team will participate in Group 7 of the World Cup, alongside Belgium, Iran, and New Zealand. The Pharaohs will start their World Cup campaign against Belgium in the first round. This will be the Egyptian team's fourth appearance in the World Cup, after previously participating in the 1934, 1990, and 2018 editions. The 1934 World Cup remains the first appearance in Egypt's, Africa's, and the Arab world's history, before being eliminated from the first round with a 2-4 loss to Hungary. The Egyptian team returned to the World Cup after a long absence in the 1990 Italy edition, presenting a distinctive defensive performance, but was eliminated from the group stage after drawing with the Netherlands and Ireland and losing to England. In the 2018 Russia edition, the Pharaohs returned to the World Cup after 28 years of absence, but ended their participation with losses to Uruguay, Russia, and Saudi Arabia in the group stage. The Egyptian team played 7 matches in the finals before the start of the 2026 edition, achieving 2 draws and 5 losses, with their players scoring 5 goals and conceding 13. On an individual level, Abdulrahman Fawzi is the first Egyptian scorer in the World Cup after scoring two goals in the 1934 edition, then Magdi Abdelghani scored a goal in 1990, and Mohamed Salah scored another goal in 2018. The Egyptian team holds high hopes for the 2026 World Cup, with talented players like Mohamed Salah and Turki Al-Sheikh. The performance of the Egyptian team in the 2026 World Cup will be the key to achieving success in the tournament.
