AFCON is exceptional in Egypt: Moez Haggy

CAIRO - 6 July 2019: Moez Haggy, General Secretary of the African Football Confederation (CAF), expressed his pleasure at organizing the 2019 African Nations Championship in Egypt after the great success achieved in the groups stage.

"The current version is exceptional as it has 24 teams; and the organization has been impressive so far. The Egyptian government has spared no effort to ensure the success of the tournament. After the World Cup in Russia, CAF had to present an exceptional tournament, and that happened in Egypt." Haggy said.
