The Egyptian Olympic team is set to face a formidable challenge today, Saturday, as they go head-to-head against the United Arab Emirates in the final match of the Dubai International Friendly Tournament, currently taking place in the UAE.
This friendly encounter is a crucial part of Egypt’s preparations for the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics.
The match between Egypt’s Olympic team and their Emirati counterparts is scheduled to kick off at 2:00 PM Cairo time (GMT+2) and 4:00 PM UAE time.

In their recent encounter, Egypt’s Olympic team faced a narrow defeat against Saudi Arabia with a scoreline of 2-1.
This match, held on Tuesday, was part of the team’s training camp in preparation for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Under the leadership of coach Shawky Gharib, Egypt’s Olympic squad will face teams from West Asia in March.
Subsequently, in June, they will participate in the Toulon Tournament alongside teams gearing up for the Olympics.
The Dubai International Friendly Tournament has served as a valuable testing ground for Egypt’s Olympic team, providing a platform to fine-tune their strategies and tactics ahead of the prestigious Paris Olympics later this year.
