Egypt Is Going to the 2026 World Cup – Will This Be the Year We Break the Curse?

Big news for football fans! Egypt has officially qualified for the 2026 World Cup in Canada, Mexico, and the US! After a solid 3–0 away win against Djibouti, the Egyptian football team secured their spot, marking their fourth World Cup appearance after 1934, 1990, and 2018.

The hero of the night? Mohamed Salah scored two stunning goals to lead the Pharaohs. Fans remember 2018, when Salah played injured after a shoulder issue in the Champions League final, and Egypt lost all three group games against Uruguay, Russia, and Saudi Arabia.

This time, the Pharaohs World Cup 2026 squad looks stronger and hungrier. With Salah in top form and a mix of experienced stars and young talent, Egypt could finally make a mark beyond the group stage.

Fans everywhere are asking: Will Egypt shine in the 2026 World Cup? One thing’s clear — the energy and excitement are real. The Egyptian football team is ready to compete, and the world better watch out.

Get your jerseys ready because Egypt is back, and the Pharaohs are coming to the 2026 World Cup!
