I'm working on a project about the World Cup and we're getting pictures and short text together to create a poster. I'd like to know how do you say 'Good Luck' in Arabic for us to assemble it on our poster. Thank you.

Удача
good luck = счастливый случай [schastlivyi sluchai], удача [udacha]
Also you can translate this phrase as follows:
Желаем удачи [zhelaiem udachi] (pl.)
Желаю удачи [zhelaiu udachi] (sing.)
Удачи! [udachi]
This is translation from English into Russian.
But I guess you confused language pair.
Good luck!

Allah ma'aka (to a man); Allah ma'aki (to a woman)
Arabic collocation meaning "Good luck" is "Allah ma'aka(i)" - literally "May God be with you".

Ни пуха, ни пера!!!
This is the most popular Russian equivalent for "Good Luck".
I've already proposed this expression for "Succesfull .... ".
In this case it would be even more suitable. Nobody would understand you, but Russian team wold be HAPPY!
