In the lead up to the 2024 Wafcon, key stakeholders have made critical decisions that will shape the event in the coming months. The World Association of Football Confederation (WAFCON) announced that the tournament will take place in Cairo, Egypt, from July 15th to August 10th, 2024.
Representatives from various football federations voiced their support for this decision, emphasizing Egypt’s rich footballing history and passion for the sport. They believe that hosting the tournament in Egypt will not only showcase the country’s ability to organize a world-class event but also attract a global audience.
However, concerns have been raised by some human rights organizations regarding Egypt’s human rights record. They argue that hosting such a major sporting event in a country with a history of human rights abuses could be seen as condoning these actions. Despite these concerns, WAFCON has stated that they will work closely with local authorities to ensure that human rights are respected during the tournament.
With preparations now underway, all eyes are on Egypt as they gear up to host Wafcon 2024. As the footballing world eagerly anticipates this prestigious event, discussions are ongoing about how to make this tournament not only a sporting success but also a platform to address important social issues.
