Egypt will be fighting for survival in the U20 World Cup this Friday, as they face Chile on matchday three of Group A.

The Pharaohs have lost their first two matches in the tournament, falling to Japan (0-2) and New Zealand.

They currently sit at the bottom of their group, three points behind both Chile and New Zealand, and six points adrift of group leaders Japan.

The fourth-placed team from the last U20 Africa Cup of Nations needs a miracle to reach the round of 16 in this U20 World Cup. Here are the scenarios that could see Egypt make it to the next stage.

  1. Second place in Group A: A 2-0 victory over Chile, coupled with a defeat for New Zealand against Japan.
  2. Second place in Group A: A 3-2 win over Chile, along with a New Zealand loss against Japan.
  3. Third place in Group A: Any win over Chile and securing a spot among the four best third-placed teams.
