The Confederation of African Football's cup displayed at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in the Egyptian capital in December 2018. CAIRO: The sports ministry said Wednesday it has referred a probe into a missing African Cup of Nations trophy which Egypt has possessed since 2010 to the prosecutor general after a string of explosive allegations.
Officials were preparing to inaugurate a museum showcasing Egypt's football memorabilia in time for the EFA's centenary when the loss was realised, Shobair said on his popular talkshow. But former football officials said it was looted during a fire in 2013 caused by protesters, known as the Ultras, at the EFA headquarters in Cairo.The accusations prompted the sports ministry and EFA to kick off investigations that have been closely monitored by Egypt's legions of fervent football fans.
Egypt was allowed to keep the trophy on a permanent basis - with a new cup made - after the dominant run of the"Pharaohs", as the national team is known, winning three titles in a row, in 2006, 2008 and 2010.
