Morocco to Learn 2019 Africa Cup of Nations Opponents in April Draw

"The draw will take place during the first week of April. We will be ready for this event. The six stadiums reserved for the competition will be renovated starting in April," the Egyptian federation said in a message cited by the press.

Egypt was designated ten days ago by the Confederation of African Football to replace Cameroon, which was accused of major delays in infrastructure. The land of the Pharaohs won by 16 votes to 1 over South Africa.

The Lions will be under pressure at this Africa Cup of Nations, as the President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), Fouzi Lekjaâ, has asked them to row the trophy.
