Belgium vs Egypt

This is the Group G opener at the 2026 World Cup in Seattle. Egypt recently held Spain to a 0-0 draw, proving they can frustrate elite European sides. Belgium enters with a transitioning squad, blending the 'Golden Generation' veterans with explosive talents like Jeremy Doku. The match will be played on turf at Lumen Field, which may affect the speed of Belgium's passing game and benefit Egypt's counter-attacking setup.

Injuries & Absentees

Belgium is missing key defender Zeno Debast (muscular) for the opener. Romelu Lukaku is a major doubt for the starting XI, likely forcing Charles De Ketelaere into a 'False 9' role. Egypt is without winger Islam Issa (ACL) and defender Mohamed Abdelmonem, but the biggest story is Mo Salah, who is expected to start despite missing the end of the Premier League season with a hamstring injury.
