Egypt closed out their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign in style, defeating Guinea-Bissau 1–0 in Cairo to complete an unbeaten run.
Despite missing key stars like Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush, the Pharaohs dominated from the opening whistle.
Pyramids FC defender Mohamed Hamdy broke the deadlock in the 10th minute, heading home a precise cross from Ahmed Nabil “Koka.”
The victory capped a flawless Group A campaign, following a 3–0 triumph over Djibouti. Egypt finished top of the group with 26 points, scoring 20 goals and conceding just two across 10 matches.
With qualification secured, Hossam Hassan’s team now looks ahead to the World Cup draw in early December, gearing up for their fourth appearance at the global tournament, following 1934, 1990, and 2018.
The Pharaohs will be aiming for their first-ever victory on football’s biggest stage next summer across the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
