Soccer fans’ attention is on Tuesday night’s upcoming clash between Egypt and Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final, amid optimism that the Pharaohs received a message from Morocco’s Hussein Amouta, coach of Al-Ahly, who expressed his desire for Egypt’s national team to continue its journey into history.

Al Ahly, led by Mahmoud Al-Khatib, had earlier announced the appointment of Wael Gomaa as director of football, replacing Walid Salah El-Din in a new technical staff headed by Moroccan Hussein Amouta, who took over the team’s technical responsibility, replacing Danish Jesses Torop.

At the press conference held in connection with his appointment as the technical director of “Al-Ahli”, Amuta said. “I would like to congratulate Egypt and Morocco for their outstanding performances at the World Cup and I wish the Egyptian team all the best against Argentina and that they can qualify for the quarter-finals.”

In the framework of the 16th round of the 2026 World Cup, the Egyptian team will play a tough match against the world cup winner Argentina at the Atlanta Stadium today, Tuesday evening.

The Argentine national team had a hard fight for its place in the round of 16, avoiding a big surprise against the Cape Verde national team, and achieved a thrilling victory (3-2) after extra time.

On the other hand, the Egyptian team continued to write history in the current draw of the tournament after defeating the Australian team on penalties (4-2), a positive draw after the start and extra time (1-1), so that the Pharaohs booked their place in the round of 16.
