About This Match
New Zealand face Egypt in the Group Stage of Group G on Sunday, June 21, 2026. New Zealand are ranked #90 in the world and managed by Darren Bazeley; Egypt sit at #29 under Hossam Hassan. The match kicks off at 21:00 local time at BC Place in Vancouver.
New Zealand
New Zealand make their third World Cup appearance in 2026, with Nottingham Forest's Chris Wood - the All Whites' all-time top scorer - leading the attack in what is likely his final major tournament. The All Whites famously went unbeaten at the 2010 World Cup, drawing all three group games, and that spirit of organised resilience defines the Kiwi football identity. Under coach Darren Bazeley, New Zealand qualified as OFC champions and will relish the challenge of Group G against Belgium, Iran, and Egypt. While advancing from the group would be a stunning achievement, New Zealand will compete hard and could cause an upset given the right circumstances.
Read New Zealand 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.
