The 2018 World Cup Qualifier Gives Egypt A Reason To Celebrate

  • 7 years ago
For only the third time in its history, Egypt is headed to the FIFA World Cup — and the crowd goes wild.

The team recently qualified after a dramatic goal by forward Mohamed Salah in the 95th minute of a 2-1 win over Congo. It'll be Egypt's first World Cup appearance since 1990. Citizens celebrated all night as fireworks were set off in Cairo's Tahrir Square.

Could Egypt's momentum carry over to the 2018 World Cup in Russia?
