Egypt's national team will host Angola in its next match on Friday, September 25. The game will be played at the national stadium in Cairo, as part of the team's preparations for the next phase of World Cup qualifying.
This fixture comes after a series of friendlies and tests the team has undergone in recent months. The Pharaohs currently sit second in their World Cup qualifying group, having collected 5 points from 3 games. The match against Angola presents an important opportunity to hone their attacking approach before returning to official competition.
Pharaohs' Preparations
Egypt will play three home friendlies during 2026, with the Angola clash being the first of them. The team enters this match with a mixed record from its last five outings, registering one win, three draws, and one loss. The team's last result was a 3-2 defeat to Argentina on July 7.
