Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 4

New Zealand wins: 0

Draws: 1

Egypt wins: 3

Infrequent opponents on the international stage, Egypt hold the definitive historical edge over their Oceanic counterparts, having recorded three wins compared to none for New Zealand, while the remaining fixture ended in a hard-fought stalemate.

A little over two decades ago, the All Whites' first attempt to claim a victory over the North African powerhouse resulted in a commendable draw, as the two nations shared the spoils in a 1-1 international friendly in July 1999.

All Whites supporters were then forced to witness a narrow defeat to Egypt just five days later, as the Pharaohs denied New Zealand an unbeaten run in that 1999 double-header courtesy of a 1-0 victory in Cairo.

The Pharaohs replicated that scoreline to secure a 1-0 triumph in March 2024 thanks to a first-half penalty-box strike from Mostafa Mohamed.

Hossam Hassan oversaw that disciplined defensive performance against the All Whites during the tournament on home soil, earning Egypt a seamless continuation of their undefeated streak against New Zealand.

Egypt then recorded a 3-1 win over New Zealand when the pair met in the group stage of the 2026 World Cup.
