Belgium may not have the same polished roster full of prime stars as it once did, but this is still the team to beat in Group G at the 2026 World Cup.
Rudi Garcia’s Red Devils open against Egypt in Seattle on Monday, perhaps the toughest test they will face in this round of the competition. The same, obviously, goes for Egypt.
Egypt has never performed well at a World Cup, still yet to win a match and losing all three in the 2018 group phase. For national hero Mohamed Salah, celebrating his 34th birthday on gameday against Belgium itself, this summer will almost certainly be his last chance on the global stage.

What’s Next for Begium, Egypt?
With Iran and New Zealand matches left to play, both teams will hope things become more straightforward once this opening fixture is out of the way.
Even defeat here, which is more likely for Egypt, doesn’t spell disaster in the knockout rounds picture if at least four points come from facing an Iran team battling enormous logistical and travel challenges, and New Zealand as the lowest-ranked team in this World Cup.
As long as this match doesn’t set in motion catastrophic momentum, both should be fine whatever.
