Crowds gathered outside the team hotel to cheer the players and show appreciation for their milestone performance in the tournament.

Egyptian football officials hope this landmark World Cup run will serve as a springboard for a new era, building on these historic results to fuel the team’s ambitions in upcoming continental and international tournaments.
