It’ll take place at Gonzaga University’s Luger Field on June 10 at 12 p.m., as the Pharaohs prepare for the FIFA World Cup.
“We are thrilled to welcome the Spokane community to Gonzaga University for this special opportunity to see the Egypt National Team prepare for the world stage,” said Gonzaga University President Katia Passerini. “Being selected as a Team Base Camp Training Site for FIFA World Cup 2026™ is an extraordinary honor for Gonzaga and Spokane, and this open training session will allow our community to share in the excitement of this global event.”
The City of Spokane and Gonzaga University were selected as Egypt’s Team Base Camp Training Site to serve as a “home away from home” for national teams throughout the tournament, providing a centralized location for training sessions, player workouts, team meetings and staff operations.
