Al-Attar stated: “We did a swab for those infected with Corona, and two of them tested negative, Mahmoud Saber and Ahmed Nabil, which means there are 16 players available for the Tunisia match and the possibility to play the match.”

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 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 to how it was and the number ready to face is only 14 players. What prevents the party.
Now, in the case of adopting the negativity of the players’ tonality, the Egyptian team has the right to play the Tunisia game.
