Egypt have reached an agreement with the Sudanese authorities to host a training camp ahead of the World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) qualifiers in June.

"It took us just a few minutes to get their approval and we will play our three games there. I notified our three opponents that the venue had changed and we are working now to get them visas," the national team director Samir Adli was quoted as saying on Ahram Sports.

The Pharaohs were scheduled to play the games in Morocco but they were hit by a last-minute rejection. Egyptian authorities declined the suggestion of playing in Egypt for security reasons especially because presidential elections will take place on 23 and 24 May.

The seven-time African champions will face Cameroon, Togo and Senegal on 20, 22 and 25 May before kicking off their World Cup qualifing campaign against Mozambique on 1 June.
