Australia and Egypt will look for historic firsts when they meet in their Round of 32 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Dallas on Friday.
Australia have reached the Round of 16 twice but have never achieved a knockout victory. Egypt, on the other hand, is in its first stint in the elimination rounds of the FIFA World Cup.
The two sides have faced each other only once before, in a friendly match in 2010, in which the African side won 3-0.
