The African Cup of Nations 2010


There is no doubt that football is the most popular game in Egypt and the world.  Egypt won the African Cup of Nations for the third time after beating Ghana 1–0 with Gedo’s goal in the last five minutes. No other team has won the tournament three successive times before. Thousand of Egyptian fans and top state officials received the Egyptian national team as they arrived from Angola bringing back the African Cup for the third consecutive time. Fans celebrated on the streets, waving flags and chanting for the players. Millions of Egyptians inside and outside Egypt celebrated Egypt's victory. Winning the African Cup of Nations for the seventh time pleased all the Egyptians.

We hope that this great achievement in football will be a push forward to our youth to continue developing in all fields of life. In the end, the whole world looks at us as champions.
