Egypt
Egypt return to the World Cup for the first time since 2018 with Mohamed Salah — arguably the world's greatest footballer of his generation — still at the peak of his powers. Salah's domestic brilliance at Liverpool makes Egypt genuinely dangerous; Omar Marmoush has emerged as a brilliant complement to him. The Pharaohs have the individual quality to cause upsets.

Tactical Blueprint
A structured 4-2-3-1 built around Salah's creativity and goal threat. Salah drops deeper than ever to receive and create; Marmoush provides vertical pace and finishing. The system relies heavily on these two stars in the final third.
