Emergency Fifa committee to manage EFA until elections

An emergency Fifa committee will take over the management of the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) until elections are held, Fifa said in a statement yesterday. Four men and one woman have been appointed to the committee, which will oversee the day-to-day management of the association and organize elections. Former EFA president Hany Abou Rida and other board members resigned and sacked the national team’s coaching staff following the round of 16 loss to South Africa in the African Cup of Nations last month.
