The Egypt women's national football team represents Egypt in international women's football. It is governed by the Egyptian Football Association. Like most African Nations, women's football in Egypt has lacked development, whereas the men's team is one of the continent's most traditional. History The beginning The team had an agonizing start. As shown when they were lost 17–0 by Russia in a 1993 unofficial friendly. An unimpressed correspondent in the Egyptian Mail newspaper wrote of the players: After some development, the Cleopatra's were able to make their official debut in the 1998 African Championship after beating Uganda in the qualifying round. They lost all 3 matches with horrible results but were able to score 2 goals. In 2012 they made their fourth appearance in the African Championship's qualifiers. They were knocked out by Ethiopia. Egypt was able to qualify to the 2016 Tournament after beating Ivory Coast on Away Goals rule. This was considered an upset since the Ivory Coast had recently played at the World Cup. In the tournament, Egypt lost 2–0 to Cameroon and 5–0 to South Africa but were able to snatch their first victory against Zimbabwe after a sole goal by Tarik. Egypt did not enter the qualification rounds to the 2019 World Cup nor the African Women's Cup. They have not played a friendly in over a year and are currently unranked.
