The Egypt national football team plays against New Zealand in Canada in the 2026 World Cup, remembering the successes of Egyptians in Canada. There are many Egyptians who have achieved great successes in Canada, such as Hoda El Maraghy, the first woman in Canadian history to specialize in industrial engineering. And Dr. Ali El Maraghy, the most important Canadian expert in railways and one of the advisors to Chrysler. And Ali Mortada, one of the world's experts in nuclear safety. And Hussam Gaber, head of the Energy Security and Control Institute. And Hany Mustafa, a pioneer in aircraft engine design, who made Montreal the capital of civil aviation. And Mohamed Ibrahim, a professor of electronics. And Mamdouh Shukri, the seventh president of York University in Toronto and the most successful of them. And Sherif Sabawy, the first Egyptian to gain membership in the Canadian Parliament. And many others in various fields of life, whether engineering, science, medicine, arts, or literature. Sports were not absent, and Canadians still feel grateful to the Egyptian tennis coach, Heidy El Tabakh, who changed the shape of women's tennis in Canada and led her team in 2023 to win the first major international championship in its history. And 90 years before Heidy's success, the Egyptian football player Tawfiq Abdullah led the Montreal Caristel club to its first championship. Tawfiq was the first Egyptian player to play on Canadian soil in any game. And one of the paradoxes of sports and history is that Egypt will play tomorrow in Canada against New Zealand in the 2026 World Cup. It was Egypt that sympathized 50 years ago with 21 African countries and withdrew from the Montreal Olympic Games in Canada in 1976 in protest against New Zealand's participation in that tournament. So Egypt and all Africans at that time refused to play with New Zealand or participate in an Olympic tournament that included New Zealand, which sympathized with apartheid South Africa. And all accounts changed and racial discrimination fell, and South Africa returned to the Africans, and the Egyptians returned to play with New Zealand and also returned to play in Canada. And they will play tomorrow in the Canadian city of Vancouver. The city that witnessed in 2003 the Egyptian champion, Nehal Ramadan, winning the World Weightlifting Championship. It was the first Egyptian women's championship in weightlifting. And Nehal became the second Egyptian player to win a world championship after Inas Hagi won the 1955 World Swimming Championship in France. And the Egyptians' victory tomorrow in Vancouver will be easy if they play with the same determination, spirit, and will that Nehal won with in the same city, the World Championship.
