Quote of the week

"I totally believe that Egypt should host the World Cup 2010. We absolutely have the capabilities to do so. We must not forget that Egypt will host the African Cup of Nations 2006.

This is voucher to our strength as a host nation to such a great event, and proof to FIFA that we are capable of giving the world the best in 2010.

I give my full support as part of the Egyptian football family looking forward to witness the World Cup, with all Egyptians and people from around the world, in Egypt in the year 2010."
