Egypt national vs Egypt Olympic team
Senior team to play two friendly matches against Egypt Olympic squad amid preparations for upcoming global championships
Egypt national team coach Bob Bradley and Olympic team tactician Hani Ramzy have agreed to hold two friendly games between the two sides in the coming few days within the context of their preparations for upcoming international competitions.
“Bradley and Ramzy decided to launch a two-day camp in Egypt to give all the players the opportunity to get to know – and play with – each other better,” Egypt senior team goalkeepers’ coach Zaki Abdel-Fattah Said to an Egyptian Newspaper.
“Egypt national teams, senior and Olympic, are doing their best to pass the difficulties they have suffered as a result of the cancellation of league activities following last month’s Port Said tragedy,” he added.
The Pharaohs are preparing to play two games in 2014 World Cup qualifiers, where they will face Mozambique and Guinea on 1 and 8 June respectively. They will then face the Central African Republic on 30 June in 2013 African Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Egypt’s under-23 team are preparing to participate in the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
