Group G - Belgium vs Egypt Match Day Tickets
The 2026 FIFA group stage opener sees Belgium take on Egypt at Lumen Field Stadium in Seattle.
Belgium has been one of Europe's most consistent national teams over the past decade, qualifying for every major tournament since 2014 and finishing third at the 2018 World Cup, the best result in the country's history.
Yet for all that success, the World Cup trophy has always remained out of reach; could this now be their chance?
The Egyptian national football team holds a place in history as the first African nation to participate in a FIFA World Cup, a milestone achieved in 1934.

Travel Tips
Getting There
Lumen Field sits in the SoDo district of Seattle, just south of downtown. It is one of the more accessible World Cup venues, with public transport options running directly to the stadium.
The best public transport option is the Link Light Rail. Fans can take the 1 Line to Stadium Station, which is directly adjacent to Lumen Field. Service runs frequently and is the easiest way to avoid matchday traffic.
For rideshare users, the designated pickup and drop-off areas are signposted around the SoDo district. Allow extra time for surge pricing and post-match queues.
Flying In
The main airport is Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), approximately 30 minutes from the stadium by car in light traffic, or around 40–50 minutes via the Link Light Rail directly from the airport. It is one of the most convenient airport-to-stadium connections of any World Cup venue.
Where to Stay
If you would like to walk to the game, downtown Seattle and the SoDo district are the closest options, with a range of hotels within easy reach of the stadium.
Fans who want to be closer to Seattle's waterfront and city centre tend to stay around Pike Place Market or Capitol Hill, both a short light rail or rideshare journey from the stadium.
Matchday Tips
Lumen Field is one of the more accessible World Cup venues, but matchday crowds will be large. Use the Link Light Rail where possible, arrive well before kickoff, and budget extra time for post-match queues. With a 3:00 PM local kickoff on 15 June, getting to the stadium early is strongly advised.
Players to Watch
Kevin De Bruyne is Belgium's main man. Now in his mid-thirties and playing his club football at Napoli, this could be his last World Cup, and his last chance to deliver a trophy. He has over 115 caps since his debut in 2010.
Jérémy Doku is the most direct attacker in the squad, a winger with pace and directness. He arrives at his second World Cup with more Premier League experience under his belt than he had in Qatar.
Up front, Romelu Lukaku is a physical striker and one of the most difficult centre-forwards to play against.
And finally, Thibaut Courtois in goal won the Golden Glove in Russia in 2018.
For Egypt, it begins and ends with one man. Mohamed Salah is ranked number one in FourFourTwo's list of the best African footballers ever and is the top scorer of all time in CAF World Cup qualifiers, having scored 20 times in qualification.
The 33-year-old will head into the tournament after saying an emotional goodbye to Liverpool.
Alongside him, Manchester City's Omar Marmoush provides a second attacking threat, and the pair's combination play could cause Belgium's defence real problems.
