About This Match
Argentina face Egypt in the Round of 16 on Tuesday, July 7, 2026. Argentina are ranked #1 in the world and managed by Lionel Scaloni; Egypt sit at #29 under Hossam Hassan. The match kicks off at 12:00 local time at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
Argentina
Argentina arrive at the 2026 FIFA World Cup as defending champions, looking to emulate Brazil's 1958-62 back-to-back victories. Lionel Messi, who finally completed his World Cup fairy-tale at Qatar 2022, will be 38 years old and playing in what is almost certainly his last World Cup - a once-in-a-generation farewell that will captivate the footballing world. Under the exceptionally tactically intelligent Lionel Scaloni, La Albiceleste blend Messi's genius with the predatory instincts of Inter Milan's Lautaro Martínez and the emergence of Julián Álvarez. Group J against Austria, Algeria, and Jordan is a very favourable draw for the world champions, who will rightly be installed as one of the two or three leading title contenders.
Read Argentina preview →Egypt
Egypt arrive at World Cup 2026 with one of football's greatest players at the peak of his powers - Liverpool and Egypt captain Mohamed Salah, arguably the best player in the Premier League over the past decade. The Pharaohs, coached by legendary Egyptian striker Hossam Hassan, have been frustrated by World Cup near-misses for decades and finally return for their fourth appearance. Group G alongside Belgium, Iran, and New Zealand is a competitive draw, but with Salah in form - and the emerging talent of Eintracht Frankfurt's Omar Marmoush - Egypt have a real chance to advance for the first time in their World Cup history. Salah's World Cup fairy-tale story arc will captivate global audiences.
