Egypt: Africa's Footballing Powerhouse

A Legacy of Success

Egypt is the oldest national football team in Africa and has a rich history of success. They have won the African Cup a record seven times, more than any other nation. Egypt has also made three appearances in the World Cup, including a memorable run to the Round of 16 in 1990.

Home Ground Advantage

The Pharaohs play their home games at the Cairo International Stadium, which has a capacity of 74,100. The stadium is a fortress for Egypt, who have lost only once there in competitive matches since 2003.

Current Squad and Prospects

Egypt's current squad is a mix of experienced veterans and promising young talent. Mohamed Salah, who plays for Liverpool in the English Premier League, is the team's star player. Egypt is currently ranked 45th in the FIFA World Rankings and is aiming to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
