Egypt, Tunisia to play friendly in UAE

Egypt will play Tunisia in a friendly on Tuesday as part of their training camp in the United Arab Emirates. The Pharaohs beat DR Congo 3-0 in Dubai on Friday. The team, which won three successive African Cup of Nations trophies (2006, 2008 and 2010), have faced difficulties in holding training camps due to recent sponsoring issues. Egypt, under US coach Bob Bradley, will not play any competitive games until March 2013 when they host Zimbabwe in a World Cup qualifier. Egypt and Tunisia, which have both experienced revolutions in recent years, have met 29 times. Egypt has won 10 times and Tunisia 11, with 8 draws. Tunisia have scored 34 goals while Egypt have scored 30. From: Ahram Online
