Egypt to play Saudi Arabia in September
Egypt will play a friendly against Saudi Arabia next month in London, the Pharaohs assistant coach Diaa El-Sayed revealed late on Tuesday.
“We have received offers to play with Saudi Arabia, Libya, Uruguay and China,” El-Sayed told an Egyptian TV programme.
“Until now, we only approved to play with Saudi Arabia in September,” the coach added.
Egypt will meet Oman in a friendly on Wednesday in their first game since they stunningly failed to qualify for next year’s African Nations Cup in South Africa after a 4-3 aggregate defeat by minnows Central Africa in the qualifiers.
