The delegation of Senior National Team of Egypt, Pharaohs, will arrive in Nigeria on March 24 aboard a chartered aircraft for the prestige international friendly with the Super Eagles.
Officials of both the Nigeria Football Federation and the Egyptian Football Association have confirmed that the team will fly into the Asaba Airport direct from Niamey, Niger Republic, where they are due to play that country’s senior team on the final day of qualifying campaign for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Pharaohs, like the Super Eagles, have made sure of a place in the finals taking place June 21 to July 19 ahead of the final day of qualifiers, even before Egypt was handed the hosting right for the championship.
Seychelles’ Pirates are the Eagles’ opponents for the final day of the campaign on March 22, before both former AFCON winners clash at the Stephen Keshi Stadium four days later.
