Tournament outlook
With Salah and the in-form Marmoush, Egypt have a genuine attacking duo. Their fate hinges on how much support the supporting cast can offer.
Managed by Hossam Hassan, Egypt head into the 2026 World Cup in Group G, where they face Belgium, Iran, New Zealand. With a FIFA ranking of #29, expectations are calibrated accordingly, but tournament football has a way of rewriting the script.
