Egyptian national team winger Mohamed Salah commented on his team’s victory in the 1/16 final match of the 2026 Emergency against Australia in the post-match penalty shootout.

" Before the game, I told the boys that this is the greatest stage on which you can play. You need to stay strong and not let the pressure crush you.

I am the radium that we were given the chance to win, they were not spared. I am happy that today we have gone down in history.

My penalty? If you want to earn money, then I! I am grateful for my other team partners, and I want to instill in them gratitude. I believe that I am guilty of being in the wrong state,” Salah quotes BBC.
