History of Matches Between Egypt and New Zealand Before the World Cup Match

The Egyptian national team is preparing to play a match against New Zealand early next Monday in the second round of the group stage of the 2026 World Cup.

The history of encounters between Egypt and New Zealand before the anticipated match between the two teams indicates a clear advantage for the Pharaohs.

The Egyptian national team played three matches against the New Zealand national team, winning two of them and drawing in one.

The first encounter was a friendly match in 1999 and ended in a 1-1 draw between the two teams.

The second match was also a friendly in the same year, and the Egyptian team won with a goal scored by Ibrahim Hassan.

The third and final encounter was in the Capital Cup Championship in 2024, where the Pharaohs succeeded in securing a victory with a 1-0 score, thanks to a goal by Mostafa Mohamed.
