Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Development Mostafa Madbouly meets with Minister of Youth and Sports Khaled Abdel Aziz to review the final action plan for building new closed stadiums that will host the Handball World Cup on 2021, Invest-Gate reports.

Representatives from the two ministries have attended the meeting along with Yahia Zaki, Manager of Dar Al Handasah for consulting in Cairo.

The stadiums will be built in Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada, and New Thebes in Luxor. Abdel Aziz explains their choice of such cities is due to the strong surrounding  infrastructure and the availability of nearby airports.

Madbouly reveals that the Chinese Company for Structural Engineering Ltd. will handle the construction of the stadiums, and there are continuing negotiations with them in order to proceed with contracts in one month.

Madbouly states, ” The constructions will take 18 months in order to have a good time-span before the beginning of the tournament.”
