Australia vs Egypt Kick-Off Time & Starting XIs for Round of 32 Knockout Match

ARLINGTON: Preparation is complete at Dallas Stadium as broadcasting networks confirm the australia vs egypt kick-off time is set for exactly 11:00 PM PKT tonight. This FIFA World Cup Round of 32 knockout match marks a historic cross-continental battle, with the winner securing a spot in the Round of 16 against either Argentina or Cape Verde.

Ahead of the vital australia vs egypt kick-off time, both managers have finalized their tactical roadmaps by locking in their official playing XIs. The headline news for Egypt is the inclusion of captain Mohamed Salah. Despite dealing with a minor hamstring strain during the final group-stage game, the veteran forward starts on the wing. 

Australia manager Tony Popovic has countered by reinforcing his defensive spine well before the australia vs egypt kick-off time. In transition, Australia will look to exploit spaces using the pace of Nestory Irankunda and Cristian Volpato out wide. 

Because neither nation has ever won a World Cup knockout match in their history, both tactical setups prioritize early defensive stability.
