Egypt have granted forward Omar Marmoush permission to miss the national team’s upcoming trip to the United States as he prepares for his wedding, in a move approved by team management ahead of key international preparations.
The decision means the forward will not travel with the rest of the squad for the scheduled camp in the USA, allowing him time for personal commitments during an important period off the pitch.
Despite his temporary absence, Marmoush is expected to rejoin the national team on June 2, when preparations resume for Egypt’s build-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The forward remains an important part of the plans for Egypt national football team, with the coaching staff confident that his short break will not disrupt his long-term involvement in the squad’s World Cup campaign.
The arrangement reflects a balancing act between player welfare and international duty, with Egypt opting to accommodate the forward’s personal milestone while maintaining continuity in their preparation program.
With Marmoush set to return early next month, the Pharaohs will continue their structured preparations as they fine-tune their squad ahead of the global tournament.
