Former French football star Christian Karembeu, who won the World Cup with his national team in 1998, was among the stars at the grand gala.
"We are here to share the experience with all the fans. You can see the excitement of people," Karembeu told Xinhua during the event.
Karembeu said that Egypt made to the tournament in Russia because it deserves it, adding that the national team of Egypt is strong as most of its footballers play in the Premier League in England.
He said that Mohammed Salah, a Liverpool soccer star, who is one of the best talents in the team together with Mohammed al-Neny of Arsenal and Amr Warda of Atromitos in Greece, can help make a difference.
"I hope that coach Hector Cuper will drive them to the best," the former Real Madrid player said.
