Egypt’s Road to the 2026 World Cup

After returning to the World Cup in 2018 following a 28-year absence, Egypt aims to build on that momentum. The team blends veteran star Mohamed Salah with younger talents like Omar Marmoush, Trézéguet, and Emam Ashour.

The qualifying campaign was strong, with Egypt unbeaten in their group—eight wins and two draws. Salah scored nine goals, driving much of their success. Under coach Hossam Hassan, the side focuses on tight defense and swift counterattacks. Hassan, Egypt’s all-time leading scorer, has created a disciplined setup. Yet, this style faces challenges against the powerful offenses expected in Group G.
