The EFA said on their official website that Angelov has been chosen to officiate at Wednesday's game at Cairo Stadium.

The 41-year-old has been an international referee since 2003.

It will be the second time both sides meet after Australia won 4-3 on penalties in a friendly tournament in 1987.

Egypt face Australia in their first match after slumping to a shock 1-0 defeat at tiny Niger in the 2012 African Cup of Nations qualifiers.
