The upcoming World Cup, set to take place from June 11 to July 19 across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, marks a new chapter with an expanded format featuring 48 teams and 104 matches. In this unprecedented global football event, Egypt, led by coach Hossam Hassan, is preparing to face New Zealand, Iran, and Belgium in what is considered an accessible group.
The Pharaohs, who have never secured a victory in a World Cup match, harbor strong ambitions: to cause an upset and advance to the knockout stages in the USA. All eyes are on national superstar Mohamed Salah, the team’s spearhead. However, the squad’s hopes do not rest solely on his shoulders; other key talents, such as forward Omar Marmoush, will also be crucial.
With a potentially favorable group and palpable determination, the question remains: how far can this Egyptian team truly go in this historic competition? Expectations are high for Egypt and Salah to finally make their mark on the world stage.
