Egypt are set to host Senegal in the first leg of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers play off, set to take place at Cairo Stadium on Friday, March 25th.

The second leg will take place on Tuesday, Match 29th in Senegal.

Ahly playmaker Magdi Afsha was recalled to Egypt’s squad for a World Cup qualifying playoff against Senegal but there was no room for teammate Mohamed Sherif despite his fine goal-scoring run of late.
