The Confederation of African Football (CAF) may give the hosting rights for the 2019 African Cup of Nations to Egypt ahead of South Africa.

BSNSports.com.ng understands that South Africa and the North African nation are the only two African countries that have shown interest in hosting the biennial African nations football competition.

Caf had in November stripped Cameroon the hosting rights following security and infrastructure concerns.

And now, it appears, according to top officials of the football ruling body, that Egypt may stage the competition next year.

In 2006, Egypt hosted the biennial event and South Africa, on the other hand, staged it twice – 1996 and 2013.

The hosts for the tournament will be unveiled by CAF on January 9.
