Hossam Hassan, the head coach of the Egyptian national team, announced the lineup for the Pharaohs' match against South Africa, scheduled to take place this evening at Cairo International Stadium as part of an international friendly within both teams' preparations for upcoming competitions.
Hossam Hassan, the head coach of the Egyptian national team, made two changes to the starting lineup that began the previous match against South Sudan in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The Pharaohs' coach started with Karim Hafez and Ibrahim Adel, replacing Ahmed Fathy, who suffered a thigh bruise during the previous match, and Haitham Hassan, whom the technical staff preferred to rest due to injury.

The national team will be without the services of duo Mohamed Salah and Mohamed El-Neney, after they left the team's camp in recent days, having requested not to play the match against South Sudan because it was held on an artificial turf pitch.
