GROUP G INFO

About Group G

Egypt are back at the World Cup for the first time since 1990, making this their fourth appearance overall. The Pharaohs are drawn into Group G with Belgium, Iran, and New Zealand, playing at Lumen Field in Seattle (matches 1 & 3) and BC Place in Vancouver (match 2). The team is built around Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah, arguably the most high-profile player in the group — his World Cup debut is one of the tournament’s most anticipated storylines. Trequartista Mostafa Mohamed and goalkeeper Mohamed Abou Gabal provide crucial support. Egypt’s most winnable fixture is their Matchday 2 clash against New Zealand in Vancouver. Coach Hossam Hassan — Egypt’s all-time leading scorer — has shaped a direct, attack-minded side ready to make history.
