The Egyptian FA has arranged a friendly game with Zambia ahead of next month's World Cup qualifying playoff return leg against Ghana, a board member revealed.

According to board member Seif Zaher, Egypt are supposed to meet Zambia at home on November 14, just five days before hosting the Black Stars in Cairo.

"Egypt and Zambia have agreed to stage a friendly meeting on November 14," Zaher told a radio station.

Bob Bradley's Egypt virtually lost hope of making it to the World Cup as they need to overturn a five-goal deficit against Ghana following a shock 6-1 hammering in Kumasi.
