The Egyptian national football team, led by Portuguese coach Roy Vitoria, is gearing up for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) scheduled to take place in Ivory Coast in 2024.
Vitoria, with aspirations of guiding the Pharaohs to new glory, is determined to clinch the elusive title that has eluded Egypt since 2010.
Vitoria’s New Decision Regarding Al Ahly Players Ahead of AFCON
In recent developments, Roy Vitoria, the head coach of the Egyptian national team, has finalized the inclusion of Mohamed El-Shennawy, Mohamed Hani, Yasser Ibrahim, Mohamed Abdel-Moneim, Marwan Attia, and Imam Ashour.
Additionally, there is a significant chance of the inclusion of Mahmoud Hassan “Kahraba” and Hussein El-Shahat, according to Cairo 24.
Cairo 24 has learned that Roy Vitoria has devised a special program for Al Ahly players due to the prevailing fatigue and stress affecting the athletes.
The exhaustive schedule of tournaments and matches, culminating in the recent Egyptian Super Cup, has taken a toll on the players.
Vitoria has decided to include the players from the first day of the training camp, commencing on January 2nd.
This decision aligns with the postponement of the Egyptian Premier League matches, courtesy of the final national team camp before AFCON.
Egypt finds itself in Group 2, alongside Ghana, Cape Verde, and Mozambique.
The Pharaohs kick off their tournament journey on January 14th, facing Mozambique in the inaugural match.
The Egyptian national team embarks on a preparatory camp starting from January 2nd.
Concurrently, within this camp, the Pharaohs engage in a friendly match against Tanzania on January 7th, fine-tuning their strategy ahead of the AFCON showdown.
