The Egypt national football team (Arabic: منتخب مصر لكرة القدم), known colloquially as The Pharaohs, represents Egypt in men's international football, and is governed by the Egyptian Football Association (EFA), the governing body of football in Egypt. The team's historical stadium is Cairo International Stadium, although matches are sometimes played at Borg El Arab Stadium in Alexandria.
Egypt is the most successful team in the Africa Cup of Nations, having won the Tournament a record seven times, including the inaugural edition in 1957. Egypt is also considered one of Africa's powerhouses, being one of three teams in the continent that has reached the top 10.
In the international stage, Egypt has so far made only three appearances in the World Cup (in 1934, 1990 and 2018). Egypt was the first team outside the Americas and Europe to participate in the World Cup. They also hold the record for the longest gap between two appearances, the most capped footballer, and the oldest player to have ever played at the World Cup.
