The friendly match between the Egyptian and Brazilian national teams early Sunday morning witnessed a wonderful moment between Italian Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of the Brazilian national team, and Mohamed Salah, the captain of the Egyptian national team.
Egypt, led by Hossam Hassan, played a friendly match against Brazil, led by Ancelotti, as part of both teams' preparations for the 2026 World Cup.
Ancelotti was seen shaking hands with the players on the Egyptian national team's bench, then he shook hands with Salah and hugged him in a special moment that brought the two together.
Salah and Ancelotti have previously met face-to-face in the Champions League when Liverpool faced Real Madrid, at a time when the Italian coach was the manager of the Spanish team Real Madrid.
During the match, Brazil took the lead with a goal from Bruno Guimarães, Zico equalized for Egypt, and then Brazil took the lead again with a goal from Andrek.
Mohamed Salah came on as a substitute during the first half and was brought on by coach Hossam Hassan at the start of the second half.
Mohamed Salah recently left Liverpool on May 24th, following the Brentford match in the final round of the English Premier League.
Mohamed Salah is preparing to lead the Egyptian national team in the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
