CAIRO-12 June 2021: Mahmoud El Wensh, Zamalek and Egypt national team defender stated that he hopes to be one of the three over-aged players, who will be included in the national team squad for the competition. El Wensh’s name has emerged as one of the main candidates for one of the three places that will reinforce Egypt’s squad in the competition. “It would be an honour to play at the Olympics and represent my country but everything is in the hands of the team coach Shawki Gharib.” El Wensh stated. Egypt U-23 national team has been drawn in Group C of the Tokyo Olympic Games alongside Spain, Argentina and Australia. Egypt qualified for the Olympics after clinching the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations title at home in November 2019.
