Record

Egypt holds the record for the most Africa Cup of Nations titles with 7 — double the next closest team. Despite this continental dominance, they've only appeared in 3 World Cups.

Key player

Mohamed Salah is Egypt's greatest modern player and one of the Premier League's all-time top scorers. His goal against DR Congo in qualifying sparked celebrations across Cairo at 1am.

History

Egypt waited 28 years between their 1990 and 2018 World Cup appearances. Their return to Russia 2018 was emotional but brief — they lost all three matches, including a last-minute defeat to Saudi Arabia.
