Earlier today, the Confederation of African Football announced Egypt as the new host for the 2019 African Cup of Nations Tournament. Egypt won the bid to host the competition after Cameroon was stripped from hosting the games.
Late last year, South Africa and Egypt submitted the bid to host the finals of the tournaments but the final decision to host it in Egypt was made through a vote which Egypt won against South Africa with 16 to 1.
In the previous years, Egypt has won the tournament three times: in 1959, 1986 and 2006. This year, 8 stadiums will be used across 5 cities: Cairo – 3, Alexandria – 2, Ismailia – 1, Port Said – 1 and Suez – 1.
