“We are studying the matter very seriously, and the political leadership is committed to providing every possible form of support. Egypt has the capability to host both the FIFA World Cup and the FIFA Futsal World Cup, but securing the hosting rights for the 2028 Africa Cup of Nations is currently our top priority,” he added.
El-Sherbini also expressed confidence that captain Mohamed Salah will feature at the 2030 World Cup, stating: “Mohamed Salah will still be part of the Egypt national team at the 2030 FIFA World Cup. We have major challenges ahead as we strive to achieve further success for Egyptian football in the years to come.”
Egypt last hosted the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in 2019.
