Our Group: Egypt will be in Group C in the Olympic Games alongside Spain, Uzbekistan, and the Dominican Republic. The Pharaohs will kick off their campaign in Nantes, taking on the Dominican Republic on 24 July, followed by a match against Uzbekistan on 27 July, before traveling to Bordeaux for the third clash (and hopefully not the last in the Olympiad) against Spain on 30 July.

Tonight’s game marks the Pharaohs final preparatory game before the Summer Olympics after a 1-1 draw against Ukraine on Sunday, which saw senior players Mohamed Elneny and Ahmed Mostafa Zizo play in the starting XI.
