The international network “Fox Sports” has set its expectations for the confrontation between Egypt and Australia, scheduled for next Friday evening, in the round of 32 competitions of the 2026 World Cup.








The Egyptian national team had reached this role after its historic achievement of surpassing the group stage for the first time in its history.

The network shed light on Mohamed Salah’s position on participation, asking: “Will Mohamed Salah return to play the Australia national team match?”, noting that the most prominent question relates to the former Liverpool star’s physical readiness, after he asked to leave the Iran match in the 57th minute.

The network added that Egyptians are awaiting Salah’s readiness for this decisive confrontation, as the Egyptian national team seeks to qualify for the round of 16 for the first time.

Fox Sports expected that the Egyptian national team would resolve the match with great difficulty, by defeating Australia 1-0 in extra time.

In the same context, the network suggested that Argentina would win over Cape Verde with two unanswered goals, which could open the door to an anticipated confrontation between Egypt and Argentina in the round of 16.
