Egypt put forward a provisional list of 10 stadiums, of which six have been chosen to host games. "Egypt's decision to organise the competition was only aimed at showing the world that the country was capable of doing so," Maher said. African Player of the Year Salah and the host nation will be seeking to bounce back from their disastrous 2018 World Cup in Russia. Senegal have a rugged side, also featuring Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly, that narrowly failed to reach the World Cup knockout stage last year.
