Good Idea…Egypt to withdraw from international football, withdraws from North African Union? | Bikya Masr
The Egyptian Football Association filed an official complaint to FIFA, threatening to withdraw the national Egyptian team from organized football for at least two years. Rumors have already begun to abound as to whether the EFA will boycott the 2010 African Cup of Nations kicking off in January.
On November 19, following the events surrounding the last World Cup 2010 qualifying match between Egypt and Algeria, the EFA issued a statement calling on FIFA, the world governing body of football, to “restore discipline” in the game of football. The EFA called on the governing body to take firm action against the alleged violence directed towards Egyptian fans in Sudan by Algerian fans, following the 1-0 loss.
