Intensive Preparations Continue for Egypt National Team Camp
The technical staff of the Egypt national team, led by the famous duo Hossam and Ibrahim Hassan, continues to work diligently to prepare the team for the upcoming camp, which will begin on October 5th. The coaching staff aims to prepare the players physically, technically, and mentally, especially given the importance of the upcoming matches against Djibouti and Guinea-Bissau, as part of the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

Delay in Announcing the Squad and Monitoring Players
The decision to postpone announcing the national team squad until after the completion of the tenth round matches of the Premier League comes as Al Ahly faces Kahraba Ismailia, and Zamalek takes on Ghazl El Mahalla. The technical staff wishes to carefully assess the players' conditions after these matches to avoid including players who might suffer sudden injuries that could affect the team’s preparations.

Internal Camp and Precise External Movements
The camp is scheduled to start on October 5th at one of Cairo’s luxury hotels, where players will undergo intensive training that includes fitness and tactical drills, in addition to continuous medical follow-ups. The next day, the team delegation will travel to Morocco, specifically Casablanca, to play the ninth-round match at the modern and well-equipped Arabie Zouali Stadium.

Return to Cairo and Continued Preparations
The team is expected to return to Cairo on October 9th, where the players will continue training in camp, focusing on analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the upcoming opponent, Guinea-Bissau, before the decisive final round match scheduled for October 12th at Cairo International Stadium.

Egypt’s Leading Position in the Group and Strong Qualification Chance
Egypt currently leads its group with 20 points, ahead of Burkina Faso by 5 points, who are in second place. The Pharaohs have a strong chance of securing official qualification for the 2026 World Cup, needing only two points from the last two rounds. The technical staff is keen on maintaining player focus and boosting morale, especially since the competition at this stage is critical and requires the utmost caution and professionalism.

Intensive Technical and Psychological Preparations
Beyond physical training, the technical staff pays special attention to the psychological aspect through motivation sessions, team unity efforts, and building a strong collective spirit to enhance on-field performance and ensure positive results. The staff also relies on precise technical analyses of the competing teams to devise effective plans aimed at securing victory in these crucial matches.
