CAIRO, Egypt - African football's governing body CAF on Thursday awarded Egypt the rights to host the 2025 U20 Africa Cup of Nations.

Cote d'Ivoire withdrew as the host nation just one month before the tournament's start due to unforeseen circumstances, CAF said in a statement.

The Egyptian Football Association and the Egyptian government had previously submitted a bid to host this tournament.

The opening match of the 2025 U20 Africa Cup of Nations will be played on April 27, with the final slated for May 18. - XINHUA
