Argentina are set to lock horns against Egypt in a FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 knockout clash scheduled for Tuesday, July 7, 2026, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

The defending champions Argentina, who advanced after a hard-fought extra-time victory over Cape Verde, face an Egypt side making its first-ever appearance at this stage following a penalty shootout win against Australia. This matchup features two continental heavyweights and pits global superstars Lionel Messi and Mohamed Salah against each other in what promises to be a high-stakes encounter full of tactical intrigue and attacking flair.

Argentina enters as the clear favorite thanks to their experience and squad depth, but Egypt’s resilience and counter-attacking threat could make it a competitive affair.
