Egypt can end World Cup drought against New Zealand

Egypt face New Zealand on Sunday with history within reach. The Pharaohs have never won a World Cup match, and a victory in this Group G fixture would put them in a strong position to reach the knockout stage for the first time (1). Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush lead the attack against a New Zealand side built around Chris Wood and Elijah Just. The stakes are clear: win, and the seven-time Africa Cup of Nations champions finally translate continental dominance into World Cup credibility.
