Egypt to face South Africa September 6th 2016

Egypt will play two friendly games against Guinea and South Africa amid preparations for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, Egyptian Football Association (EFA) board member Ehab Lehitah announced.

“We have reached an agreement to play two friendly matches against Guinea and South Africa on 30 August and 6 September respectively,” Lehitah was quoted as saying on the EFA official website on Wednesday.

“The first match will be played in Egypt while the second will be abroad,” he added.

In late June, World Cup-hungry Egypt were drawn in a tight group at the qualifiers’ final round alongside Ghana, Congo and Uganda
