The Pharaohs begin their bid to qualify for the 2021 Afcon finals by hosting the Harambee Stars next month
Egypt have lined up more international friendly matches ahead of their opening 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at home against Kenya on November 15.
New Pharaohs coach Hossam El-Badry confirmed they have so far approached Djibouti and Liberia as possible practice opponents as they also prepare to face Comoros four days after the Kenya match.
El-Badry’s keenness for extended preparations could be stemming from the fact he has been in charge of only one match as Egypt coach.
