The Egyptian national football team (Arabic: منتخب مصر الوطني لكرة القدم)‎, represents Egypt in association football and is governed by by the Egyptian Football Association (EFA), the governing body for football in Egypt. Egypt's home ground is Cairo International Stadium in Cairo and their head coach is Bob Bradley. They are the most successful African team at Confederation level, winning the ACN seven times: the inaugural ACN in Sudan in 1957, at home in 1959, 1986 and Egypt in 2006, and in Burkina Faso in 1998, Ghana in 2008, and Angola in 2010.

Subsequent to leading Egypt to its third consecutive ACN victory under his tenure, Egypt coach Hassan Shehata was offered the role of coaching the Nigeria national football team in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. In February 2010, the EFA agreed to let Shehata take charge of Nigeria in 2010 World Cup only if official request was sent. Ultimately, Shehata did not take the position.
