Egypt
Egypt is home to one of the world’s oldest civilizations, with a recorded history spanning over 5,000 years and famed for its pharaohs, pyramids, and monuments along the Nile River. Its rich cultural heritage, from ancient wonders like the Great Sphinx to Islamic Cairo, continues to draw global interest and study.
Africa Cup of Nations
The Africa Cup of Nations is the premier international men’s football competition in Africa, first contested in 1957. It was founded to foster unity and sporting excellence among African nations, with Egypt winning the inaugural tournament. The competition is now held every two years and is organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
Egyptian Football Association
The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) is the governing body for football in Egypt, founded in 1921. It is one of the oldest football associations in Africa and has been a member of FIFA since 1923 and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) since 1957. The EFA organizes domestic competitions and oversees the Egypt national team, historically one of Africa’s most successful, having won a record seven Africa Cup of Nations titles.
Morocco
Morocco is a North African country with a rich history shaped by indigenous Amazigh (Berber) cultures, Arab influence from the 7th century, and successive dynasties like the Almoravids and Almohads. Its cultural sites, such as the ancient city of Fez and the Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakech, reflect this blend of Arab, Islamic, and Amazigh heritage. The country’s historic medinas, kasbahs, and varied landscapes from the Sahara Desert to the Atlas Mountains are central to its identity.
