The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) has sent a formal letter of congratulations to Faouzi Lekjaa, President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, praising the outstanding organization of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations.

In the letter, signed by EFA Chairman Hany Abou Rida, the association described Morocco’s hosting of the tournament as a source of pride for the entire Arab world. The message highlighted the high quality of infrastructure, logistics, and management, stating that the event serves as a “model to be followed” for professionalizing African football.

The EFA also expressed deep gratitude for the warm hospitality extended to the Egyptian national team. The letter noted that the brotherly atmosphere and support from the Moroccan public had a positive impact on the delegation, reflecting the strong historical ties between the two nations.

On the pitch, the Egyptian national team recently exited the semi-finals after a defeat to Senegal. The Pharaohs are now set to face Nigeria in the third-place playoff match this Saturday at the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca.
