Mexico vs Egypt: Match History
The Mexico vs. Egypt rivalry is a limited but balanced intercontinental fixture, with Mexico holding a slight edge at 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss across just 4 encounters, all taking place in 1985 and 1999. The most notable meeting came at the 1999 FIFA Confederations Cup, where the teams battled to an entertaining 2-2 draw in a group stage clash. That same year saw Mexico dominate with two convincing victories: a 2-0 triumph at the Korea Cup in June and a commanding 3-0 win at the Tour Nouvel An Chinois in February. Egypt's lone victory came in 1985 with a 2-1 friendly win, providing the Pharaohs their only success against El Tri. As a matchup between CONCACAF and African football powers, this infrequent rivalry showcases different continental styles, though the limited number of meetings leaves much untapped potential for future encounters between these two historic football nations.
