Egypt will be playing against Russia tonight in a friendly match at the Cairo International Stadium in Cairo, Egypt.
Egypt qualified for the World Cup through the African World Cup qualifiers. It is Egypt's first time to qualify for the World Cup since the 2018 World Cup, which took place in Russia.
Egypt played Russia in the 2018 World Cup in Group A. Russia won the match 3-1 with an own goal from Ahmed Fathi and goals from Denis Cheryshev and Artem Dzyuba.
Mohamed Salah scored via a penalty kick to get a goal back, but it wasn't enough.
After qualifying for the World Cup, Egypt played in the 2025 AFCON, where they finished 4th after losing 4-2 on penalties in the bronze final to Nigeria.
After the AFCON, Egypt played two friendly matches in March. Egypt first played Saudi Arabia, where they won 4-0 away from home with goals from Islam Issa, Trezeguet, Zizo, and Omar Marmoush.
Egypt then faced Spain at the RCDE Stadium in Spain, with the match finishing in a 0-0 draw.
