Cuper wants 3 friendly matches

CAIRO – 15 October 2017: Egypt’s national team manager Hector Cuper asked for three friendly matches in the first three months of 2018.

“We will try to arrange friendly games in this period to give players the chance to prove themselves,” Egypt’s national team director Ehab Lehita told the radio program the Goal.

Lehita added; “We will have 25 days to prepare before the World Cup and we will have many matches in this period but everything depends on our draw in the World Cup.”
