New Zealand vs Egypt: All-time head-to-head record ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026

New Zealand and Egypt will face each other on June 22 IST.

The New Zealand vs Egypt contest in the Group G schedule of the FIFA World Cup 2026 is one that is crucial. Both sides play their opening games with nothing on their hands and are still in the fight for a spot in the knockout round.

Egypt got their campaign off to a 1-1 draw with Belgium, and New Zealand had a 2-2 draw with Iran. The match-up between the two sides, who are tied on points, could be a crucial one in the Group G table.

It will be a clash of two countries from two different confederations, which have footballing backgrounds that are different. Egypt are appearing at another FIFA World Cup after regularly competing at the African level, while New Zealand continues to represent Oceania on the global stage.

The two teams have not met often, but they have met on three occasions in the past. Egypt hold the advantage in the overall head-to-head record heading into their latest encounter.
