The Egyptian Sports Ministry have confirmed a record 75,000 fans will troop to the Borg El Arab stadium in Alexandria for the crucial Ghana-Egypt World Cup qualifier next month.
According to Sports Minister Khaled Abdel-Aziz, they have reached an agreement with the country's Interior Ministry to increase the number from the initial 50,000 to 75,000.
Fans put up a decent behaviour during Zamalek's CAF Champions League final defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns on Sunday - a move which has prompted officials to increase the number in the 86,000 seater stadium. This will be a record-high since 2012.
The game promises to be a thriller with the two nations desperate to qualify to the global showpiece in Russia in 2018.
