Egyptian Football Team Arrives in Cairo Following Moroccan Training Camp
In the early hours of Monday, August 17, 2026, the Egyptian football team arrived back in Cairo after completing a nine-day training camp in Marrakech, Morocco. This camp was part of their preparations for the upcoming season, which is set to kick off on Friday. During their time in Morocco, the team participated in two friendly matches. The first match ended in disappointment as they lost to Nahdet Zemamra with a score of 3-2. However, they bounced back in their second friendly, securing a convincing 3-0 victory against Kawkab Marrakech.
Upcoming Season and New Transfers
The Egyptian team is gearing up to start their new season with a match against Smouha SC, scheduled for 8 PM on Saturday, August 22, at the new Suez Stadium. Ahead of the season, the club has made significant moves in the transfer market, officially signing seven new players. These include Moroccan forward Abdullah Al-Zayani, Mustafa Al-Ash, Yassin Al-Mallah, and Mohamed Shokri, alongside Mohamed Ahmed Siha, who is on loan for a season, and Algerian Kheir Eddine Tal and Eritrean Ali Suleiman. The club's management has emphasized the importance of these additions to strengthen the team's lineup.
The team's preparation period has been extensive, beginning approximately six weeks ago. Initially, they held their training in Port Fouad's maritime academy, followed by a closed camp in Cairo. They then participated in a series of friendly matches during a training camp in Ismailia, culminating in their final preparations in Morocco. With these efforts, the Egyptian team aims to start the season on a strong note, reaffirming their commitment to success.
