Egypt Face Angola in Opening AFCON Qualifier
Egypt will play their first match of the international break against Angola on September 25 at Cairo International Stadium as part of the opening round of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The match carries particular importance for the Pharaohs as it represents the official start of their qualifying campaign, with the coaching staff focused on preparing the players properly ahead of kick-off.
The national team will then immediately begin preparations for the next stage of the international schedule after the Angola match.
Pharaohs Travel to South Sudan
Following the Angola fixture, Egypt’s delegation will travel to South Sudan on September 27 aboard a private plane as the team prepares for its second qualifying match and seeks to reduce the physical burden of travel on the players.
Egypt will face South Sudan on September 29 in the second round of the qualifiers before returning to Cairo on September 30 following the match.
The schedule gives the coaching staff the challenge of managing two successive competitive fixtures within a short period while maintaining the players’ technical and physical readiness.
South Africa to Conclude the International Break
Egypt will conclude its international break schedule with a friendly against South Africa on October 4, as part of the team’s preparations for its upcoming international commitments.

With the start of the camp approaching, Egyptian supporters are now waiting for the official squad announcement and the names selected by the coaching staff before the Pharaohs embark on a busy period of matches and travel, beginning in Cairo against Angola, continuing in Juba against South Sudan, and ending back in Cairo against South Africa. 🇪🇬🏆
