EL ALAMEIN, Egypt (AFP)—Hundreds of euphoric supporters welcomed home Egypt’s national football team on Friday after the country’s best-ever performance at the World Cup, which ended with a thrilling last-16 exit to Argentina.

“We are very happy with the team,” supporter Mohamed Gehad told AFP at the airport where he had travelled to welcome the players.
