Ukraine took an early lead in the 12th minute, but substitute forward Ahmed Atef equalized for Egypt in the 75th minute.

The match featured the participation of Mohamed Elneny and Ahmed 'Zizo' Sayed, who were selected by coach Micale as senior players.

This experience will be valuable for the team as they head into the tournament.

Next, Egypt will face Iraq in another friendly match, which will also take place in France, on Wednesday.

These warm-up matches provide essential opportunities for the team to fine-tune their strategies and build cohesion before the Olympics.

Their campaign will start on the 24th, with their first match against Uzbekistan three days later. The group stage will conclude with a game against Spain.

These matches will be crucial for Egypt U-23 as they aim to make a strong start in the tournament and progress through the group stage.
