Surprising record: Belgium vs Egypt head-to-head before their 2026 World Cup clash today.
On 15 June 2026, the world No. 8 Belgium national team will face the world No. 29 Egypt national team in all their previous matches before their 2026 World Cup group stage match in Group G, scheduled for tonight at 02:00 early morning on Tuesday, 16 June, Thai time.
The two teams have never met before in a World Cup final tournament. Their four previous encounters were all friendlies. Surprisingly, Belgium’s performance has been inferior to Egypt’s despite their higher world ranking, with Belgium winning only once and Egypt winning three times.
Their most recent meeting was in 2022 when Egypt narrowly defeated Belgium 2-1 in a friendly in Kuwait. The "Pharaohs" took a 2-0 lead in the first half with goals from Mostafa Mohamed and Trezeguet, while the "Red Devils of Europe" pulled one back in the second half through Loïs Openda.
