We want to host UEFA Super Cup, Abu Rida

CAIRO – 2 July 2019: Egyptian Football Association President, Hany Abu Rida, revealed on Tuesday that Egypt seeks to host International events like UEFA Super Cup, Spanish and Italian Super Cups.

“We seek to host the UEFA Super Cup but we haven’t decided the date we would like to host the competition.” Abo Rida said.

Egypt surprised the whole world with the wonderful organization of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations which started on 21 June and will continue until 19 July with the participation of 24 teams for the first time in the history.
