The Egyptian Football Federation has confirmed that the national team has reached agreements with Nigeria and Benin for two friendly matches in September. The matches are scheduled to take place on September 7 against Nigeria and on September 11 against Benin. While Egypt is out of the running for the CAN 2013, the team aims to prepare for the 2014 World Cup qualifiers. Coach Bob Bradley has selected a squad for these friendlies, featuring notable recalls, including Shikabala, who had been previously excluded due to tensions with the former coach, and Essam Al Hadary, Ahmed Al Mohammady, and others.
