The Pharaohs of Egypt have landed in Asaba for the friendly against the Super Eagles of Nigeria which will take place at the Stephen Keshi Stadium.


Egypt played their last 2019 Africa Cup Of Nations qualifier against Niger, a game which ended 1 - 1.

Mahmoud Trezeguet (one of the four Pharaohs that can cause trouble for the Super Eagles) gave Egypt the lead in the 47th minute, two minutes after he was brought on, however, an 81st-minute equaliser by Amadou Moutari ensured the spoils were shared.

Javier Aguirre, Head Coach of the Pharaohs left out Liverpool star Mohamed Salah against Niger and he'll still be missing against Nigeria on Tuesday.

Both countries are expected to use the game to prepare for the 2019 AFCON finals which will be hosted by Egypt this summer.
