Egypt have opened their Football Olympics campaign with a disappointing 0-0 draw with the Dominican Republic at Stade de la Beaujoire in Nantes.

The Young Pharaohs are placed in Group C alongside Spain, Uzbekistan, and the Dominican Republic, with the top two teams advancing to the knockout rounds.

Rogério Micale’s men knew they had to collect the maximum three points ahead of two tough games coming up; however, unfortunately, they settled for an underwhelming draw in Nantes.
