Back at a World Cup for the first time since 2018, chasing a first-ever tournament knockout run. Salah captains at what is likely his last World Cup, sitting two goals shy of coach Hossam Hassan's all-time national record; Marmoush gives the attack a second elite edge. A strong Al-Ahly domestic core sits behind.
