The tripartite committee in charge of managing the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) called on the Ministry of Youth and Sports to include football teams of all levels, categories and ages on the schedules of Corona vaccine recipients approved by the Ministry of Health.

The Football Association's committee headed by Ahmed Megahed affirmed its readiness to bear any financial costs, as part of its keenness to continue football activity in accordance with the policy pursued by the Egyptian government.

The EFA indicated that, according to certified doctors, the Rapid Tests were not as accurate as required, as they showed inaccurate results in many cases for football players, which makes it neither safe nor guaranteed to rely solely on this test.
