The Pharaohs will face Burkina Faso twice on 24 and 28 January in Cairo, while the third game is set to be played in February against Romania or Uzbekistan as the specific opponents are not yet determined.

Egypt will face Nigeria twice on 23 and 27 March respectively in the Nations Cup qualifiers.
