Egyptian Football Association: The Egyptian national football team's plans to set up camp in Seattle have been derailed after local security authorities refused the team's request to stay in the city following their World Cup clash against New Zealand.
The team will now be forced to alter their travel logistics and return to the city of Spokane, team manager Ibrahim Hassan said on Monday.
"The security authorities refused the team's request to stay in the city of Seattle as planned after the New Zealand match in the World Cup, and therefore the team's delegation will return to the city of Spokane," Ibrahim said as quoted by the Egyptian Football Association.
