It has been postponed for six days for the start of the Africa Cup, which will be held this year in Egypt, follows Periscope.
The news has revealed to Africa's Football Confederacy, explaining that this event will not begin on June 15th 2019, but on June 21st, to give Islam-based footballers a few more days to get ready after the end of the month of Ramadan.
Fasting period this year will end on June 4th.
Hence, the organizer has heard and approved the request of several North African National Federations.
Many stars of this event are practicers of religion, such as Liverpool's attacker, Senegalzi Sadio Mane, and Egyptian Mohammed Salah.
The latter will be host to this tour, which will be held in Egypt.
This will be the first edition of 24 teams to participate.
By 2017, 16 teams had participated in the final tour of Cameroon, which was to be won by Egypt. /Periscopi/
