Hossam Hassan requests a report on the talents of the youth national team in preparation for their inclusion in the November camp.
The coaching staff of the Egypt national football team, led by Hossam Hassan, has decided to open the door for young and promising players to join the squad in the upcoming period.
In their last match, the Egypt national team suffered a defeat against South Africa in a friendly held at Cairo International Stadium, concluding their current training camp where the Pharaohs faced Angola and South Sudan, earning 4 points to top Group B in the qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations 2027.
The head coach has requested a comprehensive technical report on the standout players in the youth team, aiming to integrate some of these key players into the closed camp scheduled for November.
Renewing the Squad and Reducing the Average Age of Players
This decision comes as part of the coaching staff's commitment to renew the squad and reduce the average age of the players, while benefiting from the high physical and technical fitness demonstrated by the young Pharaohs recently.
Hossam Hassan expressed great admiration for several rising talents who have performed exceptionally well with their clubs and the youth national team.
Among Hossam Hassan's priorities are Mohannad El-Shami from Al Ahly, Mohamed Hamad from Zamalek, and Mahmoud Salah from Al Ahly.
This trio is under close observation by the coaching staff to assess their technical and physical readiness before making the final decision regarding the squad, as these players are expected to strengthen the team's plans in upcoming international matches.
This proactive move by the coaching staff is part of the serious preparations for the Egypt national team, which is gearing up for two crucial matches against Malawi.
The two matches are scheduled to take place from November 9 to 16 as part of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The coaching staff aims to achieve a balance between experienced players and youth to ensure victory and secure full points from the matches, thereby enhancing the Pharaohs' lead in the group and bringing them a step closer to official qualification.
