The iconic Cairo International Stadium has been confirmed as the venue for the high-profile international friendly match between Egypt’s Pharaohs and Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
The fixture is scheduled for Sunday, 14 December, and forms a crucial element of both nations’ build-up programmes for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Egypt head coach Hossam Hassan on Monday unveiled a 28-player provisional roster ahead of the continental showpiece.
The Pharaohs are set to open their AFCON training camp on Wednesday, with locally based players reporting first for the initial phase of preparation.
Key foreign-based stars such as Mohamed Salah, Omar Marmoush, Mostafa Mohamed, Hamdy Fathy and Ibrahim Adel are expected to join the squad next week once they have concluded commitments with their respective clubs.
The upcoming clash is expected to provide both teams with valuable competitive assessment, tactical sharpening and squad evaluation as the countdown to AFCON intensifies.
