The Egyptian national team is preparing to face Iran next Saturday morning, in the third round of Group 7 competitions, after defeating New Zealand by three goals to one, which is the first victory in its history at the World Cup.
On the other hand, the Iranian national team enters the match after a goalless draw with Belgium, in a match during which it presented a strong performance.
Egypt’s national team leads Group Seven with 4 points, while Iran’s national team ranks second with 2 points.
Egypt’s chances of qualifying today remain linked to the matches between Germany against Ecuador and Curacao against Côte d’Ivoire.
If Germany wins or draws against Ecuador, the Egyptian national team officially guarantees its qualification to the round of 32.
The Egyptian national team has 4 points, and no national team nominated for the best third seat in 3 groups has a higher score than the Pharaohs.
Ecuador has one point, and needs to win over Germany to reach 4 points, which is the same for Curacao against Côte d’Ivoire.
The Egyptian national team is currently ahead of South Korea, third in Group A, with 3 points, and Scotland, third in Group Three, with 3 points, after the two teams finished their matches in the group stage.
It also outperforms the third group of Group Nine, whether Senegal or Iraq, as the maximum score that one of them can reach is 3 points.
The German national team will meet Ecuador this evening at 11 o’clock Cairo and Mecca time, and at the same time Côte d’Ivoire will play against Curacao. (Championships)
