According to reports, the Cup was stolen from the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) headquarters in Cairo, as was confirmed by Former EFA vice-president, Ahmed Shobier.
The Egyptian national team achieved massive success between 2006 and 2010 when they lifted the AFCON title three times, thus affording the opportunity to claim the floating trophy permanently.
However, the silverware that was achieved under the guidance of legendary coach Hassan Shehata has seemingly been stolen a decade on.
They got to know the cup was missing when the EFA finally decided to build a museum at the headquarters where they can display all medals won over the years, but to their surprise, the trophy was nowhere to be found, so they decided to open an investigation.
