The Board of Directors of the Egyptian Football Association, chaired by engineer Hany Abu Rida, has officially approved the full coaching staff of Egypt’s 2010-born youth national team, in a move aimed at preparing this generation of players and establishing an integrated technical program for the coming period. ⚽🇪🇬🔥

The appointment comes as part of efforts to strengthen Egypt’s youth development system and prepare new players capable of representing the national teams in the coming years, while giving the various coaching staffs responsibility for identifying talent and developing their technical and physical abilities.

The new staff includes specialists in several areas to create an integrated structure combining coaching, planning, performance analysis, medical care and administration.

Abdel Sattar Sabry Appointed Head Coach

The Egyptian Football Association has appointed Abdel Sattar Sabry as head coach of Egypt’s 2010-born youth national team. Sabry is one of the notable names in Egyptian football and has previous experience in coaching and player development.

Managing a national team at this age group requires a combination of technical and developmental skills, along with the ability to identify young talent and help players progress gradually toward higher levels.

The new coaching staff will hope to build a strong group of players who can eventually benefit Egypt’s youth teams and senior national team.

Full Coaching Staff

The coaching staff of Egypt’s 2010-born youth national team is as follows:

Abdel Sattar Sabry: Head Coach.

Mohamed El-Yamani: Coach.

Haitham Hussein: Coach.

Haitham Saleh Abdel-Gawad: Assistant Head Coach for Planning and Training.

Mohamed Sobhi: Goalkeeping Coach.

Mohamed Latif: Performance Analyst.

Shady El-Sherif: Administrator.

Mohamed Ahmed Ali: Team Doctor.

Mohamed Mahrous: Physiotherapist.

Abbas Hassanein: Masseuse.

The structure reflects the presence of specialists in different areas, allowing the players to be monitored from multiple perspectives rather than only from a technical standpoint.

An Important Stage in Building a New Generation

Youth national teams are the foundation of Egypt’s football future, particularly because these age groups represent the main source of talent that can later progress into the youth national teams and eventually the senior side.

The new coaching staff will therefore be responsible for identifying the best players at Egyptian clubs and continuously monitoring their development while improving their skills and helping them develop their characters on the pitch. 🏆

Identifying positions that require additional support and developing players in those areas will also be important tasks during the coming period.

Egyptian FA Prepares for the Second Egypt Cup Preliminary Round

On another front, the Egyptian Football Association has continued its preparations for the second preliminary round of the 2026-2027 Egypt Cup.

The federation sent official letters to the clubs participating in this stage, including the full match schedule as well as the regulations and instructions governing the games.

The move comes as part of the final preparations for the beginning of the second preliminary round, ensuring that all participating clubs receive the necessary information regarding match dates and competition regulations.

Clubs Prepare for the Competition

The preliminary rounds of the Egypt Cup provide different clubs with an opportunity to continue their dream of reaching the advanced stages of the tournament.

Participating teams need to prepare carefully because cup football differs from league competition, with one match potentially determining a team’s entire fate in the tournament.

Clubs are therefore expected to target positive results from the opening stages in order to secure qualification to the next rounds. 📢

A Dual Objective for Egyptian Football

Approving the 2010-born national team coaching staff while also organizing the second preliminary round of the Egypt Cup reflects the Egyptian Football Association’s work across several areas at the same time, from youth development to the organization of domestic competitions.

The coming period will be important for the youth national team as it builds a new generation, while it will also be decisive for clubs hoping to continue their Egypt Cup campaigns.

✨ The Egyptian Football Association has finalized the coaching staff of Egypt’s 2010-born youth national team under Abdel Sattar Sabry while continuing preparations for the second preliminary round of the Egypt Cup, bringing together youth development and domestic competition organization.
