Egypt have been tied with Brazil in the 2012 London Olympic draw announced today to be in Group C that also includes Belarus and New Zealand.

The draw was held Tuesday morning in Wembley Stadium in London.

The key players of the Under-23 squad clashed with Brazil in the last Youth World Cup and they were able to end the match with a 1-1 draw.

GROUP A
