Uzbekistan and Egypt will trade tackles in an international friendly on Friday (November 14th). The game is part of the 2025 Al Ain International Cup and will be played at the Hazza bin Zayed Stadium.
Uzbekistan will be looking to bounce back from the 2-1 defeat they suffered to Uruguay in a friendly in the last international window in October. All three goals were scored in the second half, with Facundo Torres and Juan Sanabria scoring for the Uruguayans while Ruslanbek Jiyanov pulled one back with eight minutes left in regulation time.
Egypt, meanwhile, wrapped up their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign with a 1-0 home win over Guinea Bissau, having already secured qualification. Mohamed Hamdi broke the deadlock in the 10th minute and his goal proved to be the difference between the two sides.
The Pharaohs will use this game to begin preparations for the Mundial next year. Uzbekistan also secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup and will be debutants in USA, Mexico, and Canada.
Iran and Cape Verde complete the quartet of teams in the 2025 Al Ain International Cup. The winner of the two ties will square off in the final while the losers will square off in the third-placed playoff.
