Egypt to take on Saudi Arabia friendly in London The Egyptian national team will be in London next month for a friendly against Saudi Arabia; other matches with far-off countries are being considered
Egypt will play a friendly against Saudi Arabia next month in London, the Pharaohs assistant coach Diaa El-Sayed revealed late on Tuesday. "We have received offers to play with Saudi Arabia, Libya, Uruguay and China," El-Sayed told an Egyptian TV programme. "Until now, we only approved to play with Saudi Arabia in September," the coach added. Egypt will meet Oman in a friendly on Wednesday in their first game since they stunningly failed to qualify for next year's African Nations Cup in South Africa after a 4-3 aggregate defeat by minnows Central Africa in the qualifiers. Under the guidance of American coach Bob Bradley, the seven-time African champions will play their first official competitive match against Zimbabwe in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.
