Egypt requests hosting 2019 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations
Ahram Online Published in Ahram Online on 19 - 07 - 2017

Egypt has officially requested hosting the 2019 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations which qualifies for the Olympic Games in Tokyo the following year after Zambia had decided against staging the tournament.
On the sidelines of a symposium in Morocco, Egypt Sports minister Khaled Abdel-Aziz and Egyptian FA chief Hani Abou-Rida submitted a request to host the eight-team tournament.
Egypt's request will be discussed in Thursday's CAF executive committee meeting, which is expected to ratify the Africa Cup of Nations' expansion to 24 teams.
Egypt have yet to win the quadrennial tournament, with its best achievement coming in 2011 having finished third to make it to the London Olympics.
