Egypt – 2026

Egypt fans benefitted from a keen business owner (Mohamed Saleh) who knew this World Cup could be something special. With strong social media presence and welcoming staff, Masrawy Egyptian Kitchen and The Local by Masrawy (located in the same plaza), was a clear choice for Egypt fans to watch the games. Not a surprise people turned up. A lot of people. With the success of the team on the pitch, it brought even more people out (as we shall see).

What made my experience with the Egypt fans even more memorable, it always is, was an early goal and a lead in the match. Nothing gels the room more and raises the excitement of the match. I think that early goal had more to do with the success of this team and the turn out of the fans than anything else. It was an immediate confidence, sprinkled with belief, and it was contagious.

I was in The Local by Masrawy, a cute bakery/coffee shop, for the goal (photos above). They kept the place reservation free and walk ins were welcome. After the hydration break, I walked across the plaza to Masrawy Egyptian Kitchen, a traditional restaurant, that had set-up an outdoor viewing patio with a tent, sound and big screen. It was completely booked with rowdy fans.

You always know you are at the right viewing party if CP24 shows up.
