What is Pyramids FC doing during the international break?
Pyramids FC is taking advantage of the current international break to rest and reorganize, after the team played a series of consecutive matches both domestically and in Africa, achieving 7 victories in a short period, including a trip to Kenya to face a team in the CAF Champions League.
10 Days of Rest
South African coach Rulani Mokwena has decided to give the players a 10-day break from training due to the significant effort they have exerted recently, and the coaching staff's desire to allow them to recover and shake off fatigue.
Pyramids Returns to Training on September 28
Pyramids FC will resume training starting September 28, as the coaching staff begins preparing the players for the upcoming phase, especially with local and African commitments awaiting the team in the near future.
Pyramids Prepares to Face Al Qanah in the League
Pyramids will kick off their journey after the break by facing Al Qanah on October 8, in the first round of the League Cup, with the coaching staff aiming to utilize the preparation period to physically and technically ready all players for the match.
The coaching staff, led by Rulani Mokwena, is expected to determine their needs for friendly matches during the break, both in terms of the number of matches and the level of opponents, to align with the preparation program before returning to official competitions.
Recovering Injured Players and Preparing Substitutes
The break also represents an opportunity for the coaching staff to restore the fitness of injured players, such as Mahmoud Zalaka and Mahmoud Marai, and to prepare those who have not had enough chances to participate recently, increasing the options available to Mokwena when competitions resume.
A Time to Catch Breath and Reorganize
The Pyramids coaching staff hopes to make the most of the break by providing players with adequate rest, then gradually returning to training before entering a new phase in which the team aims to continue its positive results across various competitions.
