The United Sports Company, organizers of the Capital Cup matches in Egypt’s new administrative capital, have announced the tournament schedule and the stadiums hosting the matches.
The national team is gearing up for participation in the Capital Cup alongside Egypt, Croatia, and New Zealand from March 22 to March 26.
Initially slated to be held in the United Arab Emirates, the Football Association decided to relocate the tournament to Egypt, with some matches set to take place at the Egypt Stadium in the new administrative capital.
This tournament will serve as the first test for Tunisia’s new coaching staff under the helm of coach Montasser Al-Wahishi.
Egypt will kick off the tournament against New Zealand in the semifinals, while Tunisia will face Croatia in the second semifinal.
Egypt opened the New Administrative Capital Stadium several months ago, which has already hosted the national team’s training camp before the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The tournament was initially planned to take place at Cairo Stadium and the Air Defense Stadium.
Here is the schedule and venues for the matches:
