The Pharaohs start their preparation for the quadrennial tournament against the European Champions on Friday
Egypt aim to use Friday’s friendly encounter against Portugal to improve their performance ahead of the World Cup, according to coach Hector Cuper.
The north Africans will trade tackles with a Selecao side, headlined by current World Best Player, Cristiano Ronaldo and Cuper is looking forward to how well they can contain the Real Madrid superstar - having ‘studied’ him well - amongst other things.
"We are working on improving our performance at the World Cup. We will try many things against Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo [in Friday's friendly match]," Cuper said in a press conference on Tuesday.
