The Egyptian national team have officially revealed the uniform that will be worn by their delegation ahead of their journey to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The announcement was made on Saturday as preparations intensified for the team’s departure, with the squad scheduled to fly to the United States at midnight on a private aircraft for an 11-hour journey.
The unveiling of the official travel outfit marks another step in Egypt’s final build-up to the tournament, as the national side enters the closing phase of preparation before competing on football’s biggest stage.
The squad is also continuing its friendly schedule ahead of the competition, with a high-profile match against Brazil set for 6 June. The fixture is expected to serve as a key test before the World Cup begins.
Egypt’s preparations have already included a confidence-boosting 1-0 friendly victory over Russia, which took place last Thursday at Cairo International Stadium as part of the New Capital Cup tournament.
Final squad confirmed before departure
Alongside the unveiling of the travel uniform, Egypt also confirmed its final World Cup squad list, featuring a mix of experienced internationals and emerging talents.
In goal, the selected players are Mostafa Shobeir, Mohamed El Shenawy, El Mahdi Soliman and Mohamed Alaa.
The defensive line includes Hossam Abdel-Maguid, Mohamed Abdel-Moneim, Ahmed Fatouh, Karim Hafez, Mohamed Hany, Tarek Alaa, Hamdi Fathi, Rami Rabia and Yasser Ibrahim.
In midfield, Egypt have selected Mostafa Abdel Raouf Zico, Mahmoud Trezeguet, Ibrahim Adel, Haitham Hassan, Mohamed Salah, Marwan Attia, Mohannad Lasheen, Nabil Emad Dunga, Mahmoud Saber, Ahmed Sayed Zizo and Emam Ashour.
In attack, the squad is completed by Hamza Abdelkarim and Omar Marmoush.
Final preparations underway
With the squad now confirmed and travel arrangements in place, Egypt are entering the final stage of their World Cup preparations. The unveiling of the official uniform is seen as part of a broader effort to present a unified identity ahead of the global tournament.
The team’s upcoming friendly against Brazil is expected to provide a significant benchmark for the coaching staff as they assess readiness against one of the world’s strongest football nations.
Having already secured a narrow win over Russia, Egypt will be aiming to build momentum as they head into the tournament, where expectations are high for a strong showing on the world stage.
The combination of squad confirmation, friendly fixtures and the unveiling of the official travel attire signals that Egypt’s focus is now firmly fixed on the 2026 World Cup journey.
