Egypt’s midfielders, including Mohamed Elneny, Ahmed Zizo, Ibrahim Adel, and Ahmed Atef, celebrated their victory in the men’s group C football match between Spain and Egypt at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The game took place at the Bordeaux Stadium on July 30, 2024, with Egypt emerging victorious with a surprise 2-1 win over Spain. Ibrahim Adel was the standout performer of the match, scoring both goals for Egypt.
Adel’s first goal came late in the first half, giving Egypt the lead in Bordeaux. He added another goal in the 62nd minute after seizing an opportunity when possession was lost by Spain’s Jon Pacheco. Despite a late goal from Samu Omorodion for Spain, Egypt managed to hold on to the lead, allowing them to clinch the top spot in Group C and advance to the quarter-finals. Egypt’s captain, Mohamed Elneny, led his team to victory and will face the runners-up of Group D in Marseille in the next round.
This victory marks a significant achievement for Egypt, who lost in the quarter-finals three years ago to eventual champions Brazil. The win over Spain has boosted Egypt’s hopes of advancing further in the tournament and potentially securing a spot in the final. Spain, on the other hand, will face the winners of Group D in the quarter-finals in Lyon, as they aim to bounce back from their defeat against Egypt.

As the knockout stage approaches, Egypt will be looking to build on their strong performance against Spain and continue their impressive run at the Olympics.
With the quarter-final match against the runners-up of Group D looming, Egypt will be hoping to maintain their momentum and secure a place in the semi-finals.
