The complete history
The swab that Egypt’s youth team underwent three days before the game in Libya, showed 16 cases infected by Coronavirus, in addition to Rabie Yassin, the team’s coach..

Here, the youth team decided to call in players from Egypt to fill in the number and play the rest of the tournament matches, hoping to qualify..

But the happy news stopped here, after Walid Maher, a spokesman for the youth team, announced the emergence of Tunisia’s new match result, which showed a positive display of new players from the existing strength in Tunisia from scratch, so that the situation returns as it was and the number ready to comply is only 14 players. What prevents the party.
On Friday morning, the Egyptian team revealed the negativity of the Egyptian team players and, therefore, the possibility of celebrating the match.

After full consultations, the CAF decided to cancel the match and consider the Egyptian team a 2-0 loss to Tunisia..
