The stage of the 2026 World Cup once again presents drama in the round of 32, bringing together powers from two different continents, namely Australia and Egypt. This do-or-die match is scheduled to take place on Saturday (4/7) at 01:00 WIB at the Dallas Stadium, United States.
Both teams have a fairly balanced strength profile according to the latest FIFA rankings. Egypt, representing Africa, is currently ranked 26th in the world, just slightly ahead of Australia in 28th place. This balance is a strong indication that the match will be played with high intensity throughout.
Historically, Australia and Egypt met in a friendly match back in November 2010, where Egypt won the duel with a convincing 3-0 score. However, looking ahead to the upcoming match, both teams are now at a different level. In the group stage of the 2026 World Cup, both teams performed impressively, both securing runner-up status with five points.
For Australia, this match carries its own moral weight. This is because the team nicknamed the Socceroos is the only representative from the Asian continent remaining in the tournament. While other Asian contestants were eliminated early, Australia shoulders great hopes of advancing further to the round of 16.
For football fans in the country who want to watch the struggle of both teams, this match can be watched online through official *live streaming* services, namely Folaplay and Maxstream. The action of both teams on the green pitch is predicted to be one of the most anticipated matches in the knockout phase of this edition of the World Cup.
