The Egypt national football team ({{langx|arz|منتخب مصر لكرة القدم}}), nicknamed Pharaohs ({{langx|arz|الفراعنة}}), represents Egypt in men's international football, and is governed by the Egyptian Football Association (EFA), the governing body of football in Egypt.
Egypt is Africa's oldest national football team and has won the Africa Cup of Nations a record seven times. The team has made three appearances in the FIFA World Cup and was the first-ever African and Middle Eastern team to make such an appearance. Their former goalkeeper Essam El Hadary also holds the record for the oldest player to have played at a World Cup.
Internationally, Egypt became a bronze medalist at the 2001 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina.{{citation|url=https://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/6/52/17515/Sports/National-Teams/Egypt-U-return-to-South-America,-a-decade-after--g.aspx|title=Egypt U-20 return to South America, a decade after 2001 glory}}

Egypt has qualified for the FIFA World Cup three times: in 1934, in 1990 and 2018. Egypt was the first African country to qualify for the World Cup, beating Mandatory Palestine. They lost to Hungary 4–2 in their first and only match in 1934, with the two Egyptian goals scored by Abdulrahman Fawzi.

In the qualification process for the 1938 World Cup, Egypt withdrew. They did not enter 1950 qualification. In 1954 qualifying, they faced Italy but failed to qualify. Egypt first participated in the first Africa Cup of Nations tournament in 1957. In their first game, a semi-final, they faced Sudan, winning 2–1; Egypt won 4–0 in the final.{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tables/57a-det.html|title=African Nations Cup 1957|website=RSSSF|access-date=15 June 2015|archive-date=30 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180930013226/http://www.rsssf.com/tables/57a-det.html|url-status=live}} They withdrew for the 1958, and one year later, Egypt were AFCON champions again.

Between 1958 and 1961, the country had a political union with Syria and went under the name of United Arab Republic, though the Egyptian team's records are attributed to Egypt only by FIFA as it was represented by Egyptian footballers.
Egypt withdrew for the 1962, 1966 and 1970 World Cup tournaments. The country entered 1974 World Cup qualification, but did not qualify.

== Team records ==
In 2017, Egypt set a new record of 24 consecutive Africa Cup of Nations matches played without defeat, dating back to their last tournament appearance in 2010. During this run, Egypt also reached a record nine consecutive wins in AFCON matches after beating Ghana in the 2010 final, while becoming the first team to win three consecutive AFCON titles. The unbeaten run came to an end on 5 February 2017, after Egypt lost 2–1 to Cameroon in the 2017 final.
