The Pharaohs of Egypt's national football team have managed to demonstrate that the Egyptians are great and that their mettle is precious and priceless. The Egyptians have shown a great ability to face challenges and overcome obstacles. Thus, the question here is that how could we repeat that success in all fields such as industry, technology, and trade.

The main elements to achieve similar accomplishments, as a matter of fact, are very much here, considering them pillars of rendering success any other national projects that would lead to the progress of Egypt.

First of such prerequisites, in fact, is the character of the leader demonstrated by Hassan Shihata, second is repeating the experience of depending on the generation of the young who managed to set an example of dedication to realize the aspired-for ends.

As some found it strange to realize such great victory while facing a critical period of uncertainty, perhaps they forgot that the Egyptians are capable of standing against challenges and realizing victories.
