This was followed by a 1-1 draw against Iran, which saw them claim second spot behind Belgium, and advance into the last-32.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 4-2 penalty win against Australia sent the Pharoahs through to the next round, where they took on the mighty Argentina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reigning champions were able to dump out the African side however. Despite leading 2-0 heading into the latter stages, Egypt slipped to an eventual 3-2 defeat, with Lionel Messi among the goals in the Argentina comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get all the latest Egypt stats, their route to the final, next match, and tactical analysis of the African nation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"vcsw-sports-widgets shortcode vcsw-sports-fixtures\" id=\"sports_fixtures-1\"><script type=\"application\/json\">{\"sports_type\":\"football\",\"competition\":\"\",\"participant_id\":\"666cd7d1773e0180d8e8ff86\",\"start_date\":\"\",\"widget_type\":\"fixtures\",\"results\":false,\"groups\":\"\",\"stage\":\"\"}<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>READ MORE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/egypt-world-cup-2026-odds\/\"><strong>Get the latest Egypt World Cup 2026 outright odds here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-egypt-world-cup-2026-stats\">Egypt World Cup 2026 Stats<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"vcsw-sports-widgets shortcode vcsw-stats-cards\" id=\"stats_cards-1\"><script type=\"application\/json\">{\"sports_type\":\"football\",\"widget_type\":\"stats\",\"display_mode\":\"table\",\"competition\":\"667aabbb773e0180d8f74d65\",\"cards\":[{\"stats\":[{\"value\":\"Games\",\"label\":\"Games\"},{\"value\":\"Shots (excl blocks)\",\"label\":\"Shots (excl blocks)\"},{\"value\":\"Goals\",\"label\":\"Goals\"},{\"value\":\"Assists\",\"label\":\"Assists\"},{\"value\":\"Tackles Made\",\"label\":\"Tackles Made\"},{\"value\":\"Yellow Cards\",\"label\":\"Yellow Cards\"},{\"value\":\"Red Cards\",\"label\":\"Red Cards\"}],\"entity\":\"members\",\"participant\":\"\"}],\"top_count\":10,\"full_list\":\"true\",\"participant\":\"666cd7d1773e0180d8e8ff86\"}<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-egypt-key-players-for-world-cup-2026\">Egypt key players for World Cup 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Egypt top World Cup Golden Boot contender: Mo Salah<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Mo Salah has scored 67 goals in 115 appearances for Egypt, putting him second on his nation&#8217;s all-time list behind head coach Hossam Hassan (69).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you would expect, Mo Salah played a key role in helping secure Egypt&#8217;s return to the finals. The Liverpool forward scored nine goals during the CAF qualifying campaign, a tally only bettered by Algeria&#8217;s Mohamed Amoura (10). He also netted both of Egypt&#8217;s goals on their last World Cup appearance in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Egypt primary playmaker: Omar Marmoush<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Omar Marmoush has scored 10 goals in 46 international appearances for Egypt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Egypt will hope Salah provides the goals, they will be looking to the likes of Omar Marmoush to provide creativity in the attacking areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Manchester City forward is rapidly approaching 50 caps, having only made his debut five years ago, and will be another key player for the Pharaohs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Egypt card magnets &amp; top tacklers: Marwan Attia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Marwan Attia received four yellow cards during the 2026 CAF World Cup qualifying campaign, more than any other Egypt player.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The central midfielder has also enjoyed a trophy-filled career, winning three successive Egyptian Premier League titles with Al-Ahly, as well as back-to-back CAF Champions League crowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marwan Attia was shown four yellow cards during qualifying &#8212; with only two players receiving more &#8212; so Egypt will hope he stays out of the referee&#8217;s notebook this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Egypt rising star: Hossam Abdelmaguid<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hossam Abdelmaguid is fresh from his first experience of major tournament football at the Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 25-year-old made four appearances as Egypt reached the semi-finals, and he will hope to lock down his place in the heart of defence at this summer&#8217;s World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STAND-OUT STAT: <strong>Egypt <\/strong>are one of only three teams to participate in three World Cup tournaments without ever winning a game.

There is plenty of experience within Egypt&#8217;s ranks, notably 115-cap Salah and 92-cap Trezeguet, while goalkeeper Ahmed El Shenawy has 75 to his name. With Salah usually starting on the right and Marmoush through the middle, there is lots of quality up front &#8212; in terms of goalscoring ability and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/egypt\/\">Get the latest Egypt World Cup goals, shots, tackle, assist stats are more here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-egypt-manager-analysis\">Egypt manager analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hossam Hassan is one of the darlings of Egyptian football. His country&#8217;s all-time leading scorer with 69 goals, he also helped them win three Afcon titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pharaohs were at a low ebb when he took the charge in February 2024, after Rui Vitoria was dismissed having overseen a poor Afcon campaign that saw them exit at the round-of-16 stage without winning a game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevertheless, he steadied the ship by guiding Egypt back to the World Cup finals with an unbeaten record in the AFCON qualifying section. They also narrowly missed out on AFCON glory, following a 1-0 semi-final defeat by eventual champions Senegal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stats below are from his time in charge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Coach<\/th><th>Team<\/th><th>P<\/th><th>W<\/th><th>D<\/th><th>L<\/th><th>GF<\/th><th>GA<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Win %<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Hossam Hassan<\/td><td>Egypt<\/td><td>32<\/td><td>21<\/td><td>7<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>48<\/td><td>24<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">65.63%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-egypt-world-cup-faqs\">Egypt World Cup FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Have Egypt ever won the World Cup?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, Egypt have never won the World Cup.
