Match preview
Belgium face Egypt in the group stage Group G of the FIFA World Cup 2026 on Monday, June 15, 2026. The match kicks off at Lumen Field in Seattle, United States, a venue with a capacity of 69,000.
Belgium enter as the higher-ranked side (FIFA #4) against Egypt (#38). The a sizeable ranking gap between the two sides is 34 places. This is a cross-confederation clash: UEFA vs CAF.
Belgium are coached by Rudi Garcia, while Egypt are led by Hossam Hassan. Both managers have shaped distinct identities for their squads in the build-up to North America 2026.
In Group G, only the top two teams advance directly to the round of 32, with the third-placed team competing for one of the eight best third-place spots across all 12 groups. A result here can shape the group quickly because the expanded format leaves less recovery margin than a simple top-two table.
FIFA World Cup 2026 is the first edition with 48 teams, jointly hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico from 11 June to 19 July 2026. A total of 104 matches will be played, the highest in tournament history.
