Two all-time Premier League greats will face off as Belgium meet Egypt in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Kevin De Bruyne and Mo Salah will be 35 and 34 respectively during the tournament – today is the latter’s birthday – but both remain key to their country’s chances of success in North America. Former Manchester City playmaker De Bruyne is one of several members of Belgium’s aging golden generation in the Red Devils’ World Cup squad, with goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and striker Romelu Lukaku also in the traveling party. The challenge for coach Rudi Garcia is how to get the most out of his experienced core and a group of young stars, such as forwards Jeremy Doku and Charles de Ketelaere.
Liverpool legend Salah has left Anfield at the end of the domestic season and this could be his last chance to shine on the world stage. The Egyptian striker has only played two World Cup matches, both in 2018 and both ended in defeats. So he will be desperate to help his country achieve the first ever victory in the tournament. And what better birthday present for the man who is now 34 years old? That victory might be more likely in the remaining Group G matches against Iran and New Zealand, but a victory in Seattle would put Egypt in pole position to qualify for the knockout stages.
