Former ambassador and member of the Egyptian Council for Foreign Affairs (ECFA) Rakha Ahmed Hassan asserted the importance of the friendly match to be held on Friday at Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium in UAE between Al Ahly and AS Roma clubs.

In exclusive statements to MENA on Thursday, he added that the match will contribute to easing tension between Egypt and Italy that prevailed in the last period especially after the finding of the body of Italian student Giulio Regeni on February 3 and the finding of the body of Egyptian citizen Mohamed Baher Sobhi on April 30.
