Full preview of Egypt for the 2026 World Cup, including squad breakdown, key players, and tactical analysis of their chances. Egypt returns to the global stage searching for their first tournament victory. As seven-time African champions, the national team has historically dominated continental play but struggled to replicate that success internationally. This summer represents a defining moment, serving as the likely final opportunity for legendary forward Mohamed Salah to cement his legacy on the biggest stage. Led by former striker Hossam Hassan, the roster blends elite European talent like Omar Marmoush with a hardened domestic core from Al Ahly and Zamalek. Currently ranked 28th globally, the team enters the 2026 World Cup with realistic ambitions of advancing past the group stage. The following breakdown covers their tactical setup, coaching leadership, and overall tournament outlook.

The team typically sets up in a compact 4-2-3-1 formation, though the coaching staff will shift to a 3-4-1-2 shape when matchups require additional defensive solidity. Defensively, the side is remarkably tough to break down. During their recent qualifying campaign, they conceded just 0.2 goals per game, establishing one of the tightest defensive records in African soccer. This compact shape forces opponents wide and protects the central areas effectively. In possession, the strategy relies heavily on quick transitions and getting the ball to their elite attackers in isolated situations. Salah operates with freedom to drift centrally from the right flank, occupying half-spaces and making runs behind the defensive line. Meanwhile, the midfield double pivot focuses on ball recovery and rapid distribution rather than sustained possession. This organized, counter-attacking approach makes them a dangerous opponent capable of frustrating top-tier teams in North America. Hossam Hassan: The coach behind Egypt Appointed in February 2024, Hossam Hassan is a revered figure in Egyptian soccer. Before stepping onto the touchline, he established himself as one of the greatest strikers in African history, remaining the national team’s all-time leading scorer with 69 goals across 177 caps. Hassan is known as a fiercely passionate leader who demands strict discipline and intense focus from his roster. He brings a wealth of domestic coaching experience, having managed prominent clubs like Zamalek and Pyramids FC. This summer marks his managerial debut on the global stage. He will make history as the first person to represent the nation at this tournament as both a player—having played every minute of their 1990 campaign—and a head coach. Key player: Mohamed Salah Approaching his 15th year in the national setup, Mohamed Salah remains the undisputed heartbeat of the squad. The 34-year-old forward serves as the captain, primary playmaker, and main attacking threat. Operating primarily as an inverted right-winger, Salah is given the tactical freedom to roam centrally and dictate the offensive tempo. He sits second on the nation’s all-time scoring list with 67 goals, just two behind his current head coach. While his pace has naturally declined, his elite finishing and vision remain world-class. The team’s tactical success relies heavily on his ability to unlock compact defenses and convert transition opportunities. Egypt’s road to the 2026 World Cup Competing in CAF Group A, the team delivered a near-flawless qualification campaign. They finished the round completely unbeaten, securing 26 points from a possible 30 with eight wins and two draws.
