"Egypt was one African country thought to be considering a tilt at 2022 after Fifa included it on a list of potential bidders to have expressed an initial interest in staging the tournament."
"However, the Egyptian Football Association subsequently denied it had any interest in making a bid."
"Nine countries are interested in staging the tournament in either 2018 or 2022, while two (Qatar and South Korea) are just bidding for 2022."
