Egypt not at World Cup to make up the numbers- Hassan

Egypt's national football team coach Hossam Hassan declared that the Pharaohs are competing in the World Cup with serious intent, aiming to make a significant impact rather than just being participants. Hassan emphasized the team's inherent potential and the quality of its players, sentiments echoed after their hard-fought 1-1 draw against Belgium.

The draw, while securing a point, was a source of frustration for Hassan, as Egypt came agonizingly close to achieving their dream of a first-ever victory in the prestigious tournament. The team took the lead with a brilliant strike from a player in the 20th minute, showcasing flashes of the quality Hassan believes they possess.

Hassan's comments underscore a determination to challenge established teams and prove Egypt's capabilities on the global stage. The coach's assertion suggests a shift in mentality, aiming to instill a winning spirit and competitive edge in his squad throughout the tournament.
