Mexican Crew Approaching Management of Egypt-Brazil Friendly Before World Cup Kickoff

Attention is focused on the anticipated friendly match between the national teams of Egypt and Brazil in the United States, as part of their preparations for the 2026 World Cup. There are indications that a Mexican refereeing team is likely to officiate the match.

The Egyptian national team continues its intensive preparations for the anticipated match, as the "Pharaohs" conduct their training in the U.S. state of Ohio, which will host the encounter against the "Seleção" just a few days before the start of the global event.

For its part, the Brazilian national team arrived in the United States to continue its preparations for the match, having started its training program with a significant 6-2 victory over the Panama team in a recent match held at the Maracanã Stadium.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 6:00 PM Ohio time, which corresponds to 1:00 AM on June 7th Cairo time, and will be broadcast on Abu Dhabi Sports and ON Sport channels.

After the friendly match concludes, the Egyptian national team is set to travel on June 7 to the city of Spokane, which will host the Pharaohs' permanent camp during their participation in the World Cup finals.

The 2026 World Cup will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, marking a historic edition hosted by three countries for the first time.

The draw placed the Brazilian team in Group C alongside Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland, while the Egyptian team was placed in Group G with Belgium, Iran, and New Zealand. This increases the importance of this friendly match as a significant opportunity to test technical readiness before the official competitions begin.
