Thousands of fans gave Egypt’s national team a hero’s welcome on Friday after the Pharaohs produced the best World Cup campaign in the country’s history.⁣
⁣
Supporters gathered at Alamein International Airport waving flags, singing patriotic songs and holding pictures of captain Mohamed Salah as the squad returned from North America following a historic run to the last 16.⁣
⁣
The celebrations continued with an open-top bus parade through New Alamein, while President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is set to receive the team on Saturday. Despite a dramatic 3-2 defeat to Argentina in the knockout stage, Egypt returned home to a proud reception after securing their first-ever World Cup win and reaching the last 16 for the first time.⁣
