Seven-time African champions, Egyptian Pharoahs have arrived Asaba, Nigeria for a friendly against the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
The Egyptian team flew in from Niamey, Niger Republic, where they played their last game in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying series.
The Pharaohs already qualified for the 2019 AFCON, and so didn’t budge when they drew 1-1 with Niger Republic on Saturday in one of the final–day AFCON qualifying matches.
It is recalled that Egypt was granted the tournament’s hosting rights in January after it was stripped off Cameroon in December.
