El Hadary's inclusion in the Egypt squad meant that he will officially become the oldest player to feature in the history of the tournament. Aged at 45, Egypt's captain throughout qualification is expected to be one of the key figures within this squad as the country prepares for its first World Cup in 28 long years.

The shot-stopper is in line to make his first World Cup appearance when the Pharaoh's kick-start their campaign against Uruguay and it is as clear as daylight that he will have to be at his best if they are to take something away from the tie. With the likes of Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani leading the attack for Uruguay, it's safe to say that El Hadary's performance can literally make or break the nation's hopes of progressing to the next round.
