The Egyptian national team, led by its national coach Hossam Hassan, faces a new challenge in the 2026 World Cup currently being held in the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico.
The Egyptian national team is scheduled to play against its Argentine counterpart at seven in the evening Cairo time, as part of the round of 16 matches of the World Cup.
The Egyptian national team advanced to the round of 16 for the first time in its history after defeating the Australian national team on penalties 4-2 following a 1-1 draw at the end of regular and extra time.
In contrast, the Argentine national team's advancement came with a 3-2 victory over the Cape Verde national team, as the "Tango" team resorted to extra time after the match ended 2-2 in regular time.
Egyptian national team fans are awaiting to watch the match on television screens, as the Qatari "beIN Sports" network is keen to broadcast the match for free on the open channel.
The Qatari channel has allocated a channel to broadcast some World Cup matches, specifically for some Arab teams, whether via Nilesat or Arabsat.
The Qatari channel had broadcast all of Egypt's matches in the tournament, both in the group stage and the knockout stages, and also broadcast Tunisia and Saudi Arabia's matches in the group stage.
The exceptional event from the "beIN Sports" network is broadcasting the Egyptian national team's match in the round of 16, as it did not broadcast any match for free in this round as it did in the round of 32.
Six matches were played in the round of 16, and none were broadcast on the free channel, and here the closest broadcast will be the match between the Egyptian and Argentine teams as usual.
It is worth noting that the six teams qualified for the quarter-finals are: Morocco - France - Norway - England - Spain - Belgium.
