With Egyptian football in chaos following the sudden departure of the national federation's leadership, FIFA on Tuesday appointed a temporary committee to take over.

Hani Abou Rida, the president of the Egyptian Football Association (EFA), resigned last month immediately after the hosts' shock elimination from the African Cup of Nations taking the rest of the board with him and "sacking" his technical staff.

The governing body of world football said it had appointed a "normalisation committee" to "run the daily affairs" of the EFA and "to organise and conduct elections of a new EFA board."
