About
Mohamed Salah is Africa's greatest footballer and one of the most consistent attackers in Premier League history. The Egyptian captain has inspired Liverpool to numerous trophies while simultaneously becoming an icon for fans across Africa and the Arab world. The FIFA World Cup 2026 is a competition Salah has long dreamed of conquering, having watched Egypt miss out on previous tournaments during his career. Now as the undisputed leader of his nation, Salah's technical quality, work rate, and experience make him one of the players to watch throughout the 2026 World Cup.
World Cup Record
2 goals
Mohamed Salah participated in the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia, where Egypt were eliminated in the group stage. Salah missed their opening defeat to Uruguay through injury but returned to score against Russia and Saudi Arabia as Egypt lost all three group games. It was a disappointing tournament for both Salah and Egypt, but the experience was invaluable. Egypt subsequently missed out on qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, making the 2026 tournament a hugely anticipated return to the world stage for Salah, who is now at the peak of his career and leads the team with greater authority than ever before.
WC 2026 Preview
Mohamed Salah arrives at the FIFA World Cup 2026 as Africa's greatest active footballer and Egypt's best hope of making an impact on the tournament. At 32, Salah is still performing at an elite level for Liverpool and remains one of the most dangerous forwards in world football. Egypt's squad is built around their captain, and Salah's ability to create and score goals from the left side will be their primary attacking threat throughout the competition. While Egypt face tough competition in their group, Salah has the individual quality to cause problems for any defence and could be one of the surprise packages of the 2026 World Cup if Egypt can advance from the group stage.
