The Egypt U-23 side will start preparations for the 2015 CAF Championship qualifiers in a training camp beginning 16 February, Al-Ahram's Arabic news website reported.
The camp, scheduled by newly-hired coach Hossam El-Badry, will see him assemble with his squad for the first time since he took charge in November 2013.
Meanwhile, FA board member Hamada El-Masry announced the association would spare no effort to help the Egypt U-23 side reach the 2016 Brazil Olympic Games for the second consecutive time.
Egypt qualified for the 2012 Olympics in London for the first time in 20 years, but were knocked out of the quarter-finals after slumping to a 3-0 defeat by Japan under former coach Hany Ramzy.
