Why is Egypt not playing?
Why did Egypt not qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar?
Unfortunately Egypt fell short playing in the African Qualifiers, they reached the third round where they won the first leg against Senegal 1-0 at home, but during the second leg they lost 0-1 with extra time included and during the penalty shootouts Egypt fell to Senegal (3-1).Qatar 2022: Why are Egypt not in the FIFA World Cup?
One of the biggest players in the Premier League is Salah but he will not be at Qatar 2022 even though Egypt was one of the top African teams during the qualifiers.

Sucks for sure and you're right about who to root for. The first time I can remember (and I've been watching this crap sport since the early 70s lol) that the largest mega sports tournaments makes it to an Arab country or even the ME in general and there is no Arab top tier performer.
I think the only other thing to do is pick a good or decent African team. Like for me, Senegal beat us fair and square so why not root for them. But it will probably come down to the usuals - Brazil, France, Italy etc. and heck that won't be so bad either.
Might be the last WC for Messi and Argentina like Maradona's epic last one. Maybe Brazil will actually show up and play like the mega team they used to be if Neymar can stay on his feet and not roll around the ground all the time.
