FIFA World Cup 2026: Egypt End 92 Year Wait with Historic World Cup Win

Egypt created history in the FIFA World Cup by registering their first ever victory in the tournament. The Pharaohs defeated New Zealand 3-1, ending a 92 year wait for a World Cup win since their debut appearance in 1934.

Egypt had previously participated in the World Cup in 1934, 1990, and 2018 but failed to win a match in those editions. Their 3-1 victory over New Zealand in the 2026 tournament finally ended the long wait and marked a historic moment for Egyptian football.
