Mohamed Salah Leads Pharaohs Back to the Global Stage 🇪🇬🌍
The Egyptian national football team has officially qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, marking a historic moment for African football and Egyptian fans worldwide.
Led by captain Mohamed Salah, Egypt sealed qualification with a 3–0 victory over Djibouti in their latest World Cup qualifying match. The Pharaohs’ dominance throughout the campaign ensured they became one of the first African teams to book their ticket to North America.
⚽ Match Summary: Djibouti 0–3 Egypt
Egypt made their intentions clear from kickoff, with a commanding display that overwhelmed the Djiboutian defense.
- Ibrahim Adel (8’) opened the scoring early with a sharp finish after a quick passing move.
- Mohamed Salah (14’, 84’) doubled and then sealed the win with two brilliantly taken goals — a clinical finish and a composed penalty to complete his brace.
It was a captain’s performance from Salah, who continues to inspire Egypt both on and off the pitch.
🌟 Salah’s Redemption and Egypt’s Resurgence
This will be Mohamed Salah’s second World Cup, following his appearance in Russia 2018 — Egypt’s first qualification in 28 years at that time.
Salah, now 33, spoke emotionally after the match:
“It’s an honor to take Egypt back to the World Cup again. We’ve worked hard for this moment, and the fans deserve it.”
Egypt’s qualification highlights their consistency and tactical maturity under coach Rui Vitória, who has rebuilt the side into one of Africa’s most balanced and clinical teams.
🏆 Egypt Back Among Africa’s Elite
The Pharaohs’ qualification adds to Africa’s growing list of powerhouse teams heading to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, set to be co-hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
Meanwhile, regional rivals Ghana are also on the brink of qualification — needing just a draw in their final match against Comoros to secure their spot, unless Madagascar pull off a miracle win against Mali and overturn an 8-goal difference.
For Egypt, this achievement restores their pride and reinforces their status as Africa’s most decorated football nation, with seven AFCON titles and now another chance to shine on the world stage.
