Egyptian youth team players celebrate Osama Faisal’s goal in Saudi Arabia
The African Football Confederation (CAF) considered that the Egyptian youth team was withdrawing against the Libyan team after the list of matches did not reach the required number for the confrontation. And according to a statement published by the Egyptian Football Association.
The statement said that the Egyptian team’s match list was below the number required to celebrate the meeting between the two teams within the North African Championship qualifying for the African Cup of Nations in Mauritania next year.
The youth team had come to the stadium for their match against Libya with a roster of just 14 players.
The coaching staff without Rabih Yassin, the coach of the national team and infected by the Coronavirus, prepared a list of players willing to resolve the matter of the match, whether there were enough players to celebrate the match or not, and the match was postponed half an hour until the final decision was made, which came with the withdrawal from Egypt.
What happened?
The swab result from Libya’s first match at the African Nations Youth North Africa Championship revealed 17 positive samples with Corona among the Egyptian national team players, plus Rabie Yassin, the coach.
Egypt’s national team needs 11 key players, plus 4 substitutes, including a goalkeeper, to be able to play the match. Although the closest thing is currently his retirement from the match due to lack of ranks, and after his return, he will withdraw from the tournament. (See details)
Rabie Yassin had appealed to the relevant authorities and government agencies to send a special plane to Tunisia to take the team back to Egypt after the outbreak of the epidemic among the ranks of the team. (See details)
