Participation of Egypt's national football team in the FIFA World Cup
Egypt national team at the 1934 FIFA World Cup in Italy
Egypt have qualified for the FIFA World Cup on three occasions, in 1934, 1990 and 2018.[1][2][3][4] With 2 draws and 5 losses, Egypt has never won a match in the World Cup finals. In 1934 Egypt became the first Arab and African team to play in the World Cup.[5]
When they qualified again in 1990, they became the team with the longest-ever gap between two FIFA World Cup matches: 56 years and 16 days had passed. This was surpassed in 2022 by the qualification of Wales for the first time in 64 years.
The tournament consists of two parts, the qualification phase and the final phase (officially called the World Cup Finals). The qualification phase, which currently take place over the three years preceding the finals, is used to determine which teams qualify for the finals.
