HomeWorld Cup 2026 is complete. This page preserves the final hierarchy filed on 3 June 2026 and the evidence available at that point. Verified tournament penalty outcomes will be added as a separate audit layer rather than rewritten into the original call.
Egypt penalty taker
Our final filed Egypt hierarchy for World Cup 2026 had Mohamed Salah first, with Omar Marmoush as the closest backup.
Who is Egypt's penalty taker?
Our final filed Egypt hierarchy had Mohamed Salah first, with Omar Marmoush next in line.
Mohamed Salah remains Egypt's clear first-choice taker, but Omar Marmoush is the right secondary now. CAF's World Cup qualifying round-up against Ethiopia explicitly listed both players converting penalties in the same match, which is strong direct evidence of the order behind Salah when Egypt get more than one kick in a game.
If you searched for Egypt penalty taker, the hierarchy at the top is the final tournament-cycle answer we filed. The evidence trail underneath shows why that order was published.

Why the board looks like this
Internal hierarchy checks
We keep the public archive focused on the filed primary, closest backup and the match evidence that shaped the hierarchy.
The internal file stays broader so we can re-check squad context, event timing and backup pressure without turning the page into a raw research appendix.
