The Egyptian Football Association have confirmed that the Borg El-Arab Stadium gates will be open to the fans from noon on Sunday November 13 as the Pharaohs host the Black Stars.
The EFA also announced that match tickets were sold out to as many as 80,000 fans who are expected to fill up Borg El-Arab Stadium hoping to boost Egypt’s chance to seal a World Cup qualification after 26 years of absence.
“The gates will open for the fans from 12 o’clock, six hours before kick off,’’ EFA manager, Tharwat Sweilam confirmed in televised comments.
The Egyptian fans are expecting a great performance from the Pharaohs who also have revenge on their minds having missed out on the 2014 FIFA World Cup following their 7-3 aggregate score line defeat to Ghana.
Egypt are top of group E after managing to beat Congo away while Ghana are in second place with one point after drawing with Uganda.
The match is set to kick off on Sunday at 6 pm Egypt time and 4pm local time in Borg El-Arab Stadium, Alexandria.
