The Egypt national football team, led by Hossam Hassan, is preparing to achieve a historic milestone in the 2026 World Cup. The Pharaohs will face Belgium in their opening match on Monday, June 15. Hossam Hassan, who represented Egypt in the 1990 World Cup, aims to go beyond mere qualification, emphasizing that the time has come to showcase the Egyptian team's potential. In his statements, he highlighted the significance of football in Egypt, where it is more than just a game; it is a part of the Egyptian life. Despite Egypt's rich history in African football, having won 7 Africa Cup of Nations titles, the Pharaohs are seeking their first appearance in the knockout stages of the World Cup. The team is led by star Mohamed Salah, who is regarded as one of the best players in the world, and Hossam Hassan hopes Salah will score goals and lead the team to victories. With players like Omar Marmoush, the Egyptian national team seems to have the attacking strength needed to succeed in the tournament.
