Argentina vs Egypt is a FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 showdown that no football fan can afford to miss. La Albiceleste are hunting back-to-back world titles, while the Pharaohs are chasing history of their own. The match takes place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, kicking off at 18:00 CET on July 7, 2026.
Match Preview
Argentina limped into the last 16, needing extra time to edge past Cape Verde 3-2. Despite the shaky display, La Albiceleste have now won 11 successive matches and are chasing what would be a historic back-to-back World Cup title — a feat no nation has achieved since Brazil in 1962. Only one defending champion has ever been eliminated at this stage, and Lionel Scaloni’s men have gone 24 games unbeaten on neutral territory. The omens are firmly in their favour.
Egypt, meanwhile, made history in the last 32 by beating Australia on penalties — their first-ever knockout win at a World Cup. Hossam Hassan’s side have lost just once in their last eight internationals (W4, D3) and could become only the fifth African nation to reach a World Cup quarter-final. Three of their four group-stage fixtures ended 1-1 after 90 minutes, hinting at a tight contest. That said, Egypt have beaten a CONMEBOL side just once in their history (D3, L12), which makes progress here a tall order.
Key players: Lionel Messi is targeting a goal in a fifth consecutive World Cup match — only five players have ever done it. Mohamed Salah enters the tie having created more chances than any other player in the tournament (16), though none of his last six international goals came before the 40th minute. Mohamed Hany is likely out with concussion for Egypt, and Ahmed Fatouh remains a doubt with a hamstring issue. Argentina report no fresh injury concerns.
