The delegation of Egypt’s national team, Pharaohs, will arrive in Nigeria on March 24 aboard a chartered aircraft, for the international friendly with the Super Eagles.
Officials of both the Nigeria Football Federation and the Egyptian Football Association confirmed to thenff.com that the team would fly into the Asaba airport direct from Niamey, Niger Republic, where they are due to play that country’s senior team on the final day of the qualifying campaign for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Pharaohs, like the Eagles, have qualified for the finals scheduled for June 21 to July 19, ahead of the final day of qualifiers, even before Egypt was handed the hosting rights for the championship.
Seychelles’ Pirates are the Eagles’ opponents for the final day of the campaign, on March 22, before both former AFCON winners clash at the Stephen Keshi Stadium four days later.
