Dr. Walid Darwish, a member of the Egyptian Football Association Board and supervisor of the Under-2009 national team, confirmed that the team's participation in the International Friendship Tournament in Switzerland was a highly positive experience in terms of gaining expertise and exposure, facing strong football schools from around the world.
Darwish added that the main goal of these matches is to enhance the team's level and identify strengths and weaknesses, to assist the coaching staff and players in avoiding mistakes before entering the World Cup, which represents the primary objective everyone is striving to achieve.
The team supervisor emphasized that participating in the Gulf Cup, which will begin on October 17, along with playing several new matches, serves as crucial final preparation before the World Cup, helping the coaching staff assess the team's readiness and select the best players for the tournament.
