Egypt will open talks with Nigeria and Zimbabwe over the
possibility of facing any of them in a friendly game before hosting
Ghana in the second leg of the World Cup qualifying playoff on 19
November.
Chief executive Tharwat Sweilam said the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) had also contacted several other national teams to arrange a friendly next month.
"We also have an invitation from Zambia to play a friendly on 14 November. We will consider the offer," he added.
The Pharaohs are clinging to a slim hope of reaching the World Cup for the first time since 1990, having been hammered by Ghana 6-1 in a first-leg to forget in Kumasi.
The lack of domestic football due to the Premier League's cancellation for the second successive season has left Egypt coach Bob Bradley with no choice but to resort to some low-key friendly matches to prepare his side.
