Why isn’t Egypt in the world cup?

Just wondering because I know that soccer is their national sport and they are quite good at it. Did they not qualify or did they not try out at all? Are any Egyptian players playing for other teams?


Correct, Egypt did not qualify for the world cup this year. They were in a qualifying bracket with Algeria, Zambia, and Rwanda and Algeria won the bracket for the World Cup bid. South Africa lost their bracket, but they are the host so they are permitted to play.
