Officially.. The Egyptian National Team Qualifies for the Round of 32 in the World Cup

The Egyptian national team officially secured its qualification to the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup, benefiting from Spain's 1-0 victory over Uruguay in the third and final round of the group stage.

The Egyptian national team secured advancement to the next round of the tournament with 4 points, ahead of their third and final match shortly against their Iranian counterpart.

The Egyptian team surpasses several teams that hold third place in other groups, namely South Korea, Scotland, and Senegal, each with 3 points. It also surpasses Uruguay, which finished the group stage with 2 points.

Even if the Egyptian team loses today against its Iranian counterpart, it will qualify as one of the best third-placed teams.

In the same group as Egypt, both Iran and Belgium have only two points each, while the New Zealand team has one point. Therefore, Egypt's match against Iran will be a formality, aimed at determining the group leader and the runner-up.

This achievement is historic for Egyptian football, as the Egyptian national team succeeds in advancing past the group stage of the World Cup for the first time in its history of participating in the tournament.
