CAF President Ahmad said a special committee has been assign to deal with security concerns at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt next month.
Egypt’s Interior Ministry said recently that militant group Hasm were planning a series of attacks in the country to create an “atmosphere of chaos”.
Ahmad, on a two-day visit to South Africa, told reporters on Wednesday that “Security is a big problem in the world, not only in Egypt. No country can be sure that nothing will happen. It is very sad to feel like that,”
“The Egyptian government and CAF have for the first time implemented a security committee and they will continue to work together to try and make sure that nothing will happen.”
The Nations Cup will feature 24 teams from around the continent to play at venues in Cairo, Alexandria, Ismailia and Suez from June 21-July 19.
