Egypt's national team American coach Bob Bradley has called 16 players to join a closed training camp from 10 - 20 March as part of the preparations for the 2014 World Cup and the 2013 African Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The Pharaohs recently finished their training camp in Qatar after playing three friendlies there where they defeated Kenya 5-0, Niger 1-0 and were held to a goalless draw with the Democratic Republic of Congo in the final game.
The seven-time African champions held a training camp in Qatar due to security concerns in Egypt following the 1 February Port Said disaster which left 74 fans dead and scores injured at an Egyptian Premier League game between Masry and Ahly teams.
