Egypt’s national team delegation will return from South Sudan on Wednesday after facing the hosts in the second round of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The return was delayed because Juba International Airport closes at 6 p.m., making it impossible for the Egyptian delegation to leave South Sudan immediately after the match.
Juba Airport Affects Egypt’s Travel Plans
Egypt had been scheduled to play South Sudan before returning home after the match. However, the airport’s closing time prevented the delegation from departing on the same day.
The Egyptian delegation is therefore expected to leave South Sudan on Wednesday after completing the second qualifying fixture.
