Egypt reschedules Lebanon game
Egypt national team
Egypt won the Nations Cup in January

Egypt have re-arranged a friendly international to raise funds for victims of the recent conflict in Lebanon for 3 October.

The game between the African champions and Lebanon will be played in Cairo just days before Egypt head to Botswana for an African Nations Cup qualifier on 7 October .

It had originally been scheduled for 5 September but was postponed after the deaths of three players at the end of last month.

The collapse on a training pitch from heart failure of international fullback Mohamed Abdelwahab on 28 August had been preceded two days earlier by the death in a car crash of two players from premier league club Tersana.
