Egypt will be appearing at their fourth FIFA World Cup โ a surprisingly low number given their status as an African football powerhouse. But the history runs deep. In 1934 Egypt became the first African and Middle Eastern nation ever to appear at a World Cup โ a milestone that predates almost every other African football story by decades. Since then their World Cup record has been modest โ seven matches, zero wins, two draws, five losses. That changes in 2026. This squad, under this coach, with this captain, is built to finally win a World Cup match.
The story within the story is Mohamed Salah chasing his own coach's record. Hossam Hassan is Egypt's all-time top scorer โ and Salah, closing in with 67 international goals, may have something to say about that before this tournament is over. Salah scored nine goals in qualifying โ more than any other player in the group โ and turns 34 on the very day Egypt face Belgium in their opener. What a birthday present it would be to beat them. Omar Marmoush of Manchester City gives Egypt a second genuine threat alongside Salah โ pace, movement, and the ability to stretch any defense that crowds out the captain.
Hossam Hassan is an Egyptian football legend โ a three-time Africa Cup of Nations winner as a player whose career spanned over two decades. He took over the national team in early 2024 and guided Egypt through an unbeaten qualifying campaign โ eight wins and two draws across ten matches with a +18 goal differential. Egypt reached the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals in the build-up to this tournament โ the form and momentum are genuine heading into Group G.
Egypt have never reached the knockout rounds of a World Cup โ and with Belgium, New Zealand and Iran in Group G, this is their best realistic chance to change that. Belgium are the group favorites but Egypt's defensive organization and Salah's quality make them a genuine threat for second place. New Zealand are the most beatable side in the group. Iran are organized and hard to break down. The Iran game on June 27 could well decide who goes through alongside Belgium.
The Pharaohs have zero World Cup wins from seven matches. Salah's final World Cup deserves a different story. All of Egypt believes this is the year it gets written.
