CAIRO – 29 October 2017: The Egyptian Football Association promised the United Arab Emirates Football Federation that the friendly game between Egypt and the UAE, scheduled on November 9, will feature all the Egyptian team’s stars.
Egyptians in the UAE are expected to fill the Hazza Bin Zayed stadium’s stands to celebrate Egypt’s qualification to the 2018 World Cup after 28 years of absence.
After the game, the Egyptian national team will fly to Ghana to meet their national team at the last game of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
Egypt’s national team manager, Hector Cuper will give new players a chance in this game as Egypt already secured their qualification to the World Cup after beating Congo 2-1 on October 8.
On the other hand, the Egyptian national team’s goalkeeper, Essam El-Hadary assured that he is ready to join the national team’s upcoming camp despite the car accident he had on Friday in Saudi Arabia.
Hadary, 44, is Cuper’s first choice in the goalkeeper position after he played with the team at the 2017 African Cup of Nations and the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
