World Cup Favorites #21: Egypt

Wamma! The Pharaohs are coming to the World Cup and they have the EGYPTIAN KING leading them! Mohamed Salah is one of the greatest players in Premier League history, and at the 2026 World Cup he wants to show the whole planet what African football is all about! Plus, Omar Marmoush has EXPLODED at Manchester City after his incredible season at Eintracht Frankfurt. Egypt is no longer just Salah — they have DEPTH!

Manager: Hossam Hassan Key Players: Mohamed Salah, Omar Marmoush, Mohamed Elneny FIFA Ranking: ~36th


The Squad

  • Mohamed Salah is a global superstar with 200+ Premier League goals — one of the most lethal forwards in football history
  • Omar Marmoush has become a sensation at Manchester City after scoring 20+ goals at Eintracht Frankfurt — a rising African star
  • Egypt's defensive discipline and tactical organization under Hossam Hassan makes them very difficult to break down
  • The AFCON experience means Egyptian players are used to high-pressure tournament football in hostile environments
  • Having two world-class forwards in Salah and Marmoush gives Egypt genuine knockout-round firepower

The Verdict

Egypt with Salah and Marmoush is DANGEROUS! These two can score against ANY defence on the planet. The question is whether the rest of the squad can match their quality. If the defence holds firm and the stars shine, Egypt could be the African team that breaks into the quarter-finals!


Tomorrow: #20 — Stay tuned for the next World Cup favourite!
