Egypt's Marmoush on Bench for World Cup Clash Against Iran

Egypt's forward Omar Marmoush will begin on the bench for their crucial final Group G match in the World Cup against Iran. Iran, aiming to advance to the knockout stage for the first time in their history, has made two changes to their lineup.

Egypt's starting eleven sees midfielder Hamdi Fathi, who was substituted in their previous 3-1 victory over New Zealand, among four alterations. Captain Mohamed Salah, who has scored 68 international goals, is one goal away from equaling Egypt's all-time scoring record, currently held by coach Hossam Hassan.

For Iran, forward Mehdi Taremi will lead the attack and captain the team. This marks Iran's seventh World Cup appearance, and they have never progressed beyond the group stage. The team is determined to make history in this tournament.

The starting lineups are as follows:

Egypt: Mostafa Shobeir; Mohamed Hany, Rami Rabia, Mohamed Abdelmonem, Ahmed Fattouh; Mohannad Lasheen, Mahmoud Saber; Mostafa Abdel Raouf “Zico”, Mohamed Salah, Emam Ashour; Mahmoud Hassan “Trezeguet”.

Iran: Alireza Beiranvand; Ramin Rezaeian, Shojae Khalilzadeh, Ali Nemati, Hossein Kanaani, Milad Mohammadi; Mohammad Mohebi, Saman Ghoddos, Saeid Ezatolahi, Mohammad Ghorbani; Mehdi Taremi.
