🇪🇬 Egypt

Egypt are the most decorated nation in African Cup of Nations history. A CAF side, they enter the 2026 World Cup rated 1740 — 33rd of the 48 teams — in Group G.

Record continental champions, though their World Cup appearances have been rarer. Organised and pragmatic, often built around a talismanic attacking star.

Drawn alongside Belgium, Iran and New Zealand, their toughest group test on paper is the meeting with Belgium. Our model projects them to finish 3rd in the group and to reach the Round of 32.
