Egypt will compete at the 2018 African Nations Championship in Morocco, despite being eliminated in the qualifying competition two months ago.
The Egyptians lost 4-2 on aggregate to Morocco, who are now automatic competitors in the 16-team event having replaced Kenya as hosts.
This opened the door for Egypt to be reinstated into the biennial tournament restricted to home-based footballers.
African football body CAF ditched Kenya as hosts last month for falling behind with preparations and Morocco were chosen to replace them at the weekend.
