Egypt boss Hassan Shehata canceled the team’s night training on Sunday to watch Cameroon’s match against DR Congo in the African Cup of Nations (ACN) Group B final round.

Shehata also refused the players’ request for a eight-hour break and insisted that their families came to them in the camp before watching the highly-anticipated match that will see the winners face Egypt in the quarter-finals.

The Pharaohs, who will play against Group B’s second-place team, qualified to the African Cup qualifiers after defeating Ivory Coast 3-1 in their Group A final-round match that took place on Saturday.
