The Egypt national football team (Template:Lang-ar), nicknamed The Pharaohs (Template:Lang-ar), is the national team of Egypt, and is administered by the Egyptian Football Association (EFA). They are the current African Champions having won the 2010 African Cup of Nations (ACN). They are also the most successful African team at Confederation level, winning the ACN seven times: the inaugural ACN in Sudan in 1957, at home in 1959, 1986 and Egypt in 2006, and in Burkina Faso in 1998, Ghana in 2008, and Angola in 2010. Egypt have been as high as 9th in the FIFA world rankings, making them one of only two African and Arab national teams ever to enter the world top ten. Despite this, Egypt has so far made only two appearances in the World Cup finals, with no victories.

History

Egypt was the first African or Arab country to participate in the World Cup when it played in Italy 1934, losing to Hungary 4-2. Egypt has qualified for one World Cup since then, going out in the first round in Italia 1990. They were known as the United Arab Republic national football team when Egypt and Syria joined to form the United Arab Republic (UAR) from 1958 to 1961, with Egypt retaining the name of the UAR until 1971. They finished 4th in the Olympic Games twice (1928 and 1964).

Subsequent to leading Egypt to its third consecutive ACN victory under his tenure, Egypt coach Hassan Shehata was offered the role of coaching the Nigeria national football team in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. In February 2010, the EFA agreed to let Shehata take charge of Nigeria in 2010 World Cup only if official request was sent. Ultimately, Shehata did not take the position.
