On August 26, 1989, the Egyptian national team topped their group in the 1990 World Cup qualifiers after defeating Kenya 2-0 with goals from Hisham Abdel Rasoul and Ibrahim Hassan within the first 20 minutes of the second half. The Pharaohs secured first place in the group with 8 points, two points ahead of Liberia, and advanced to face Algeria to determine the qualification spot for the 1990 Italy World Cup. The team, led by the late General Mahmoud El-Gohary, included players such as Ahmed Shobair, Ibrahim Hassan, and Hossam Hassan. Egypt holds the record for the most Africa Cup of Nations titles with 7, with their last championship in 2010 in Angola.
