The Egypt women's national football team (Arabic: منتخب مصر لكرة القدم للسيدات), nicknamed "the Cleopatras", represents Egypt in international women's football.[3] It is managed by the Egyptian Football Association, the governing body of football in the country.

Like most African nations, women's football in Egypt has lacked development, whereas the men's team is one of the continent's most traditional.
