Egypt and Mohamed Salah aim for first World Cup win

Egypt enters the 2026 FIFA World Cup without a single victory in prior editions. The campaign represents the nation's fourth appearance, hosted in North America. Egypt holds the continent's most distinguished record, having captured seven Africa Cup of Nations titles. The seven crowns underline its status as Africa's most successful football nation.

Salah's knee injury casts doubt on Egypt's knockout hopes

Mohamed Salah, whose role at Liverpool has become less prominent, is among the squad. Salah's teammates hope to break the World Cup winless streak in the United States. The side aims to unlock its scoring potential on American soil. A victory would mark the first World Cup triumph in Egypt's history.
