In a few hours, the anticipated Egypt and Argentina match will kick off in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup tournament.
Atlanta Stadium hosts the Egypt match against Argentina at seven in the evening today, Tuesday, within the round of 16 competitions of the World Cup.
Egypt's national team qualified for the round of 16 after overcoming Australia on penalties with a score of 4-2.
While Argentina advanced, at the expense of Cape Verde, with a score of 3-2, after reaching extra time.
And the Argentine legend Lionel Messi is seeking a historic number with his country's national team in the World Cup.
And if Messi scores a goal against Egypt, he will become only the second Argentine player to score 8 goals in one edition of the World Cup, alongside Guillermo Stábile (1930), that is, 96 years ago.
Lionel Messi has 7 goals in the current edition of the 2026 World Cup.
And the Egyptian national team seeks to deprive Lionel Messi of achieving this historic achievement.
It is worth noting that the six teams qualified for the quarter-finals so far are: Morocco - France - Norway - England - Spain - and Belgium.
