CAF’s official Twitter account posted photos of the visit, showing the delegation’s members with officials from the Egyptian Football Association (EFA). Earlier in January, Egypt was granted hosting rights for the 2019 African Cup of Nations after winning a majority among voting members of the executive committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF). On January 22, EFA chairman, Hany Abo-Rida revealed the nominated hosting governorates and stadiums for the upcoming African Cup of Nations. The 2019 AFCON is scheduled to take place from June 21 to July 13, having been moved from January/February to avoid club-versus-country clashes. Egypt has already hosted four editions of the African Cup: in 1959, 1974, 1986 and 2006.
