Following the Angola match, Egypt will prepare to travel to South Sudan for the second round of the qualifiers.
The Pharaohs’ delegation is scheduled to leave Cairo on September 27 aboard a private plane, with the aim of reducing the difficulties associated with travel and giving the players sufficient time to prepare for the next match.

Egypt’s delegation is scheduled to return to Cairo on September 30 after completing the South Sudan fixture.
The national team’s schedule will not end with the qualifying matches, as the program also includes a friendly against South Africa on October 4 at Cairo International Stadium.
