An executive director of the Egypt FA Tharwat Sweilam says the nationality of Ghana coach Avram Grant will not influence security arrangements for the November 13 FIFA World Cup in Alexandria.
Egypt will play host to the Black Stars at Borg El-Arab Stadium in the second game of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
“Ghana started complaining about safety in Egypt. We mustn’t give them any chance against us, because they are our main opponent in the World Cup qualifiers,” Sweilam told ON Sport.
“We ask the fans not to go to the stadium without tickets so the game would pass amicably without problems.
“We don’t care about their manager’s nationality. We will treat him as any other foreign manager.
“We also addressed the ministry of interior to strengthen security for the Ghana national team,” The Egypt FA executive director concluded.
