Egypt coach Hossam ⁠Hassan has renewed his contract until 2030, ‌the country's football association (EFA) said ‌on Tuesday.

The 60-year-old coach led ‌Egypt to this year's ‌World Cup round of 16 where they ‌squandered a two-goal lead ⁠in ‌a 3-2 defeat by ​eventual finalists Argentina.

Under Hassan's management, ​Egypt secured their first World Cup win ⁠by ​beating New Zealand.

Egypt also reached the semi-finals of the 2025 ‌Africa Cup of Nations.

Hassan, who was appointed in 2024, said in June that he had been working without a contract since February 2026.

Egypt will face Angola ​and South Sudan ‌on September 25 and 29 in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
