Samson Adamu is at the head of a CAF inspection team currently assessing the facilities put up by Egypt for the maiden 24-team format Africa Cup of Nations that will hold later this year.

Adamu is the Director of Competition of CAF. The team began its assignment on Sunday. Adamu is joined by officials of the Local Organising Committee, (LOC).

They began with the stock taking of facilities and infrastructure in Cairo, one of the designated venues. The first point of call was the iconic Cairo International Stadium and other facilities in the capital.

The team will then move to Suez, Ismailia, Port Said before wrapping up with facilities in the Mediterranean resort city of Alexandria on Thursday.

Areas of concern for the Inspection team include Stadiums, Accommodation, Transportation, Communication, Medical, Security and Protocol, which is critical to the successful organisation of the 32nd edition of the flagship continental football event scheduled for 21 June to 19 July 2019.

The two parties will also discuss preparations towards the draw of the final tournament fixed for 12 April 2019 in the Egyptian capital, Cairo.
