Egypt arrived in Ghana on Saturday morning ahead of their crucial World Cup playoff first-leg clash against the Black Stars in Kumasi on Tuesday. The Pharaohs landed at the Kotoka International Airport at 5am Ghana time and waited to be flown by a domestic flight to Kumasi where the match will be played. They were met on arrival by officials of the Ghana FA and the embassy staff of the Egyptian Embassy in Accra. Players of the Egyptians national team were seen joking with Ghanaian staff at the hotel in a very relaxed manner and enjoyed friendly chats with locals. All the players invited by Bob Bradley including top stars Mohammed Sallah, Mohamed �Gedo� Nagy, Mohamed Abou-Treika and hugely talented Walid Soliman were all part of the squad. They are expected to land in Kumasi by 7:30am and will move straight to the Noda Hotel where they will be based during their stay in the Garden City. Egypt players will train at the Paa Joe Park at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology on Saturday evening as they begin their preparation for the match.
