Egypt Squad

Egypt squad includes 23 Egyptian players who will all debut in the World Cup as it was quite a long time since the country has qualified for this tournament. It was a close call in case of Russia 2018 World Cup too, but they finally made it.

Egypt fans got to be thankful to Hector Cuper, the above-average coach of the team who has definitely stepped up the team’s game. Also, it was Mohamed Salah who scored that decisive penalty in the match against Congo that cleared all doubts in the end.
