EGYPT:

Egypt has no interest in playing host to the 2019 African Cup of Nations.

The Egyptian Football Association said Thursday, the country will not launch a bid to host the AFCON after Cameroon were stripped as host of the continental event.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is looking for new hosts after its executive committee unanimously voted to strip the nation of the hosting rights.

According to reports, board member of the Egyptian Football Association, Ahmed Meghad has ruled out any possiblity of hosting the event if Morocco files interest.

CAF stripped Cameroon of hosting rights last Friday because of delay in preparations for the tournament.
