After agreeing terms with its Qatari counterpart, the Egyptian FA said on its website that the date has been set for the warm-up in Doha.

It was also confirmed that Ahli have agreed to release players for the international after initially refusing to let them go only four days ahead of a league game with ENPPI.

Egypt prepare for a crucial World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe by the end of March as Bob Bradley’s side lead Group G with six points from two games.

Qatar have just hosted Egypt in Doha a month ago, losing 2-0 to goals from Al-Sayed Hamdi and Geddo.

The Pharaohs are also expected to play another friendly before the Zimbabwe clash, with Kenya and Swaziland mentioned as possible opponents.
