CAIRO: Egypt coach Hassan Shehata said September would be the best timing to face Rwanda in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers.
Egypt was left in a critical situation regarding the Group C fixture, which was originally scheduled for June 10.
The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) received a notification from its Algerian counterpart on Sunday, setting June 7 as the new date of the qualifier with the Pharaohs, one day later than the pre-agreed fixture date.
Consequently, the Egyptian football governing body called on FIFA to set a new date for the Rwanda home tie.
We have a number of options for the Rwanda game, but I think September would be the best timing, Egypt coach Shehata told FilGoal.com.
July won t be appropriate because we have the Confederations Cup immediately before it, while August will be an off-season, so players might not be at full fitness.
Egypt kickoff their qualifying campaign later this month against Zambia at home, before heading to South Africa for the Confederations Cup two months later.
