The Egypt national football team is adjusting its travel plan to face Iran in the FIFA World Cup 2026 to avoid fatigue and prepare for the current round. The Egyptian Football Association has decided to change the travel plans of the national team in the World Cup. The Egyptian delegation plans to travel directly to the American city of Seattle after the end of their expected match against New Zealand on June 22. The director of the Egyptian national team, Ibrahim Hassan, explained that the original plan was to return the delegation from Canada to the training camp in Spokane. However, the technical staff preferred to change the destination and travel directly to Seattle, to avoid the fatigue resulting from continuous travel, and to secure a larger time margin to prepare for the third and final match in the group stage against the Iranian national team. The Egyptian national team is entering the next match with one point in their pocket after the valuable opening draw against Belgium. The Egyptian team's ambition is colliding with the New Zealand team, which showed great ferocity and presented a distinctive performance in their first match against Iran. The Egyptian national team is hoping to secure a ticket to the round of 32. The Egyptian Football Association is planning to provide all the favorable conditions for the players to prepare well for the upcoming matches.
