The Egyptian Football Association (EFA)  has promised to send 10,000 supporters to Ghana to support their team to victory in the World cup play-off against Ghana. The Egypt FA believe the supporters will boost the players moral to overcome the Black Stars who are poised to qualify to the World cup for the third consecutive time

The EFA will next week launch a massive fund raising campaign to transport their fans to Ghana  to support the team reach its first World Cup since 1990. The FA has appealed to businessmen in Egypt to support them both financially and materially to send these supporters to Kumasi to face the Black Stars in a 2014 World Cup qualifier on 15 October in the first-play of the playoff clash.

“The association will launch the campaign in early October and reveal its details at a press conference,” EFA board member Mahmoud El-Shami told Reuters. “We will be calling businessmen to search for ways to motivate players and support transporting fans to Kumasi [4,300km from Cairo], providing special flights for the event.” The Egyptians are poised to qualify to the World cup and will start training today 25th September at Dar El-Defaa stadium in Cairo.
