Nations' preparations
Accra, Jan 3, Ghanadot/GNA – The
Egyptian Football Association (EFA) has expressed its
content with the preparations by the Local Organising
Committee (LOC) of the 26th MTN Africa Cup of Nations, Ghana
2008 towards the tournament.
The Pharaohs, who are the defending champions, will be based
in Group C in Kumasi with four-time champions, Cameroon,
Sudan and Zambia.
A statement issued by Magnus Rex Danquah, Chief Operating
Officer of the LOC in a statement copied to GNA Sports said
a delegation from the EFA made the confession after a recent
inspection tour of facilities earmarked for the tournament
at the Baba Yara stadium and hotels in Kumasi .
The delegation led by Deputy Egyptian Ambassador to Ghana,
Mr Osama Hamdy during the tour visited the Miklin Hotel and
other facilities including transportation within the Kumasi
Metropolis.
Egypt thus becomes the high profile team to express positive
remarks about the preparation for the tournament after
fellow North Africans, the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia
visited the country much earlier.
Tunisia will be based in Tamale with fellow Group D
opponents Senegal, South Africa and Angola.
