Egyptian youth team players celebrate Osama Faisal’s goal in Saudi Arabia
The mission of the Egyptian youth team arrived at the Cairo airport from Tunisia, after not participating in the North African Championship that qualifies for the African Nations Finals 2021 due to the Corona virus.
The mission arrived from Tunisia aboard a plane with medical equipment, in order to preserve the safety of the members of the mission and complete the treatment of those infected with the Coronavirus.
The mission heads to an isolation hotel for quarantine, awaiting the results of the medical swab that everyone will undergo.
The mission conducts an urgent medical examination, and everyone stays at the residence hotel until the results appear, provided that those with a negative smear naturally leave the isolation hotel.
The complete history
The swab that the Egyptian 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.
Given this fact, the Egyptian team was considered withdrawn against Libya in the first round of the North African U-20 Championship, which qualified for the 2021 Youth African Cup in Mauritania.
The Confederation of African Football Confederation (CAF) for the combined tournaments of the 2020/2021 season says that the minimum limit for any team to play a match is 15 players, including a goalkeeper, and this is not available in the national team Egyptian.
Here, the youth team decided to summon players from Egypt to fill in the number and play the rest of the tournament matches, hoping to qualify.
The two new players, Mustafa “Messi”, the Ceramica Cleopatra player, and Ahmed Hossam, the El Gouna player, arrived in Tunisia on Thursday morning, accompanied by a small delegation that also includes Mohamed Abu El-Ela, first doctor of the Egyptian team, and Mohamed Mahmoud, physiotherapist, to supervise the treatment of the wounded.
But the happy news stopped here, after Walid Maher, a spokesman for the youth team, announced the appearance 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 goes back to how it was and the number ready to face 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. But the problem is that the last swab fell outside the official framework, so the medical committee’s approval must be obtained to approve the swab results and hold the meeting.
After full consultations, the CAF decided to cancel the match and consider the Egyptian team a 2-0 loss to Tunisia.
On Friday night, the Egyptian Football Federation announced that it had submitted a formal request to the African Football Confederation (CAF) to repeat the match, before the federation decided this Saturday morning to return the mission to Egypt.
