News Summary:
The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) announced its intention on March 8, 2026, to bid for the 2032 or 2036 Africa Cup of Nations, pending state approval. This potential bid aligns with the Confederation of African Football's (CAF) shift to a four-year hosting cycle beginning in 2028 and raises questions about Egypt’s future stadium landscape. Previously, on January 27, 2026, the EFA's Referees Committee, chaired by Oscar Ruiz, appointed referees for three matches in the 16th round of the First Division League "A" (Nile League). Earlier, on January 24, 2026, the EFA's Coaching Department opened applications for the African Training Diploma to obtain the African A9 license at the National Teams Center in October 6th, building on the completion of A7. In late 2025, on December 31, Egypt expressed interest in organizing the 2028 African Nations Cup, slated to be the final edition under the old system before the tournament transitions to a new format. This followed the EFA noting on December 25, 2025, that various institutions and companies were exploiting its protected commercial rights, including its name, logo, and image.
