Group G Match Schedule

Viewing from Egypt

The Belgium opener at 22:00 Cairo time is the most favorable slot of the group stage: an evening match that will see watch parties fill Cairoโ€™s coffeehouses and football clubs. The New Zealand match arrives at 04:00 in the early hours, an all-nighter for committed fans. The Iran match becomes a daybreak kickoff at 06:00 in Cairo. Egyptโ€™s football culture runs deep. The country has seven African Cup of Nations titles and a fanbase that takes club football, particularly the Al Ahly and Zamalek rivalry, with consuming intensity. Egyptโ€™s previous World Cup was Russia 2018; before that, Italia 1990 and the nationโ€™s debut in 1934. The alarm will be set regardless.
