Complete Team Guide

Egypt arrive at World Cup 2026 as seven-time African champions who have never won a World Cup match — four appearances across 92 years, zero wins. Mohamed Salah, who confirmed he will leave Liverpool at the end of this season, captains his final tournament at 33 with 65 international goals. Omar Marmoush went from Frankfurt to Manchester City for €75 million and brings that momentum to his first World Cup. And Hamza Abdelkarim, 18 years old and the first Egyptian player in Barcelona's history, arrives with Salah as his personal mentor. Coach Hossam Hassan — Egypt's all-time scorer and a 1990 World Cup veteran — guided an unbeaten CAF qualifying campaign. Group G: Belgium, Iran, New Zealand.

Road to 2026

Egypt return to the World Cup after finishing top of their CAF qualifying group, and FIFA's team profile highlights just how clean the campaign was: eight wins, two draws, 20 goals scored and only two conceded. For a country still chasing its first World Cup victory, the broader meaning is obvious. The Pharaohs did not stumble into 2026. They qualified with control.

Key Players

Mohamed Salah

Forward

Liverpool

FIFA's Egypt profile says Salah scored nine times in qualifying, underlining how central he remains to everything the team do in attack.

Omar Marmoush

Forward

Manchester City

Marmoush gives Egypt another high-end runner and helps keep the attack from becoming too dependent on Salah's side of the pitch.

Ibrahim Adel

Winger

Pyramids

Ibrahim Adel brings explosiveness and another goal threat, important for a side trying to modernise around its veteran stars.

Ahmed Hegazi

Defender

Neom

Hegazi still gives Egypt leadership and authority in the central defensive zones.

Mohamed El Shenawy

Goalkeeper

Al Ahly

El Shenawy's experience remains crucial for a team that often builds its confidence from defensive stability outward.
