Cairo Stadium
Inaugurated in 1960 and originally named after late President Gamal Abdel-Nasser, Cairo Stadium is the favourite home for the national team and Cairo's leading clubs Ahly and Zamalek.
Although not the oldest venue in the country, it is by far the most popular, having hosted many memorable games and events. It is fondly called the "stadium of horror" by Egypt's passionate football fans.
It was packed to capacity almost nine years after it was opened, with Ismaily becoming the first Egyptian club to win the African Champions League after beating Englebert, now TP Mazembe, before a fervent home crowd in late 1969.
Ismaily's continental triumph marked the first of a series of glory days at the Cairo Stadium, which later became the officially designated home venue of Ahly and Zamalek, the country and the region's best supported outfits.
The stadium was home to Egypt's Nations Cup triumphs in 1986 and 2006 as well as a remarkable match in which the Pharaohs made it to the 1990 World Cup, with striker Hossam Hassan heading home in a decider against Algeria to send the fans into raptures.
The venue was renovated before the 2006 Nations Cup on home soil, becoming on all-seater 74,100-capacity stadium to be on par with modern safety standards. It used to accommodate up to 100,000 supporters.
Even when a bigger venue was built in Alexandria, the 86,000-seat Borg El-Arab, it hardly possessed the charm of its Cairo counterpart, which has been mainly shut in recent years for security reasons.
But Cairo Stadium is now ready again to welcome back the national team with open arms.

It later became the home of several Alexandria-based clubs, the most of which are Ittihad and Olympic.
It was also one of the stadiums which hosted the U-17 and U-20 World Cups in 1997 and 2009 respectively and was renovated ahead of the 2006 African Nations Cup on home soil, with its capacity increased from 15,000 to 20,000 seats.
30 June Stadium
30 June stadium
Cairo's military-owned 30 June stadium, famously known as the Air Defence Stadium, was established in 2012.
Just 20 kilometers away from downtown, the 30,000 seat venue is located in the Fifth Settlement district, east of the capital.
It was built by the Egyptian Air Defence Forces as part of various buildings in their Olympic village, with the name of 30 June in reference to the anniversary of their founding.
In October 2012, the stadium hosted its first ever match; the return leg between Egypt's Ahly and Nigeria's Sunshine Stars in the African Champions League semis.
In August 2018, the venue was totally refurbished by Egypt's rising football powerhouse and rich club Pyramids FC to host their matches in the domestic league. The surrounding roads were also renovated lately for the Nations Cup.
Al-Salam Stadium
Al-Salam Stadium
Located north of Cairo, Al-Salam Stadium is currently among the main venues in the Egyptian capital, especially after it hosted many domestic games for Cairo giants Ahly and Zamalek in recent seasons.
The venue also hosted some matches in Egypt's campaign to qualify for the summer Nations Cup.
With a capacity of 30,000 supporters, the multi-purpose stadium was established just ahead of the U-20 World Cup in 2009 to be one of the venues to host the tournament.
It is home for Egyptian club El-Entag El-Harby.
Just like Cairo and 30 June stadiums, Al-Salam boasts many facilities, including various hotels and training pitches.
Ismailia Stadium

Suez stadium is the home venue of Egyptian teams Suez Cement and Premier League side Petrojet.
Touristic resorts in the Red Sea town of Ain Sokhna, 55 kilometers south of Suez, would be a great asset for the teams that will play in the city.
