Last Thursday, the Egyptian Football Federation had asked Egypt to meet the deadline set Friday, which was a surprise from a country that was not competing. This followed the withdrawal of Morocco.
South Africa, confirmed Friday by South African Football Federation spokesman Dominique Chimhavi, has put South Africa, the only African country to host the World Cup, ready to help the African Union to organize the tournament again.
South Africa hosted the Nations Cup five years ago, replacing Libya, unable to stage the tournament. Egypt hosted the tournament four times and the last in 2006.
The African Football Confederation (CAF) gave the continent until late Friday to participate in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, which was pulled out of Cameroon last month due to poor preparation and of violent insurgency in some parts of this country.
The African Football Confederation (CAF) wants to nominate a new host by 31 December. The tournament is scheduled for June and July. The African Championship, next year, is the first to increase the number of teams from 16 to 24, which puts additional pressure on Cameroon.
Egypt and South Africa's moves come after Morocco, once considered the first candidate for Cameroon, said this week not to apply for the reception. Morocco has been widely described as an appropriate alternative after being a candidate for the 2026 World Cup. He lost in the competition to stage the World Cup against a joint home record of the United States, Mexico and from Canada.
