As the Egyptian and Arab football fans eagerly await, all eyes will be on the anticipated clash between Egypt and Belgium this evening, Monday, as part of the opening round of the group stage in the 2026 World Cup. This match holds significant importance for both teams aiming for a strong start in the tournament.

Egypt’s Group in the 2026 World Cup

Egypt finds itself in Group F of the 2026 World Cup, alongside Belgium, New Zealand, and Iran. The tournament kicked off last Thursday with a match between Mexico and South Africa, which will conclude on July 19.

Match Timing: Egypt vs. Belgium

The match between Egypt and Belgium will take place at Lumen Field in Seattle, USA, with kickoff scheduled for 10:00 PM Egyptian and Saudi time, or 11:00 PM UAE time.

Egypt enters tonight’s match with aspirations of achieving its first-ever victory in a World Cup, having failed to secure any wins during its previous appearances, starting from the inaugural tournament in Italy in 1934 to its last participation in Russia in 2018.

The coaching staff, led by Hossam Hassan, hopes to leverage the experience of Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush to secure points from this match and enhance their chances of advancing to the next round while making history for the Pharaohs on a global stage.

On the other side, Belgium aims to regain its former glory after a disappointing performance in the 2022 World Cup. The Red Devils are determined to win and collect their first three points in this group.
