Egypt revealed on Tuesday the ticket prices for next month's U23 African Cup of Nations, which range from EGP 20 ($1.2) to EGP 200.

Ticket for the so-called third tier costs EGP 20 for all games apart from the final's, which costs EGP 50, the organisers said in a statement. 

A second-tier ticket costs EGP 30, with EGP 75 for the final. For the first tier, there are two divisions, with one costing EGP 50 for all matches and EGP 75 for Egypt's games and the other costing EGP 150 for all matches and 200 for Egypt's games.

Ticket prices are moderate compared to the June-July Nations Cup for senior teams, which led to an outpouring of criticism as swathes of empty seats blighted the majority of matches.

The U23 tournament will take place at Cairo Stadium and Al-Salam venue, both located in the capital.

Egypt were drawn in Group A along with Cameroon, Ghana and Mali while Group B includes Nigeria, Zambia, Ivory Coast and South Africa.

The first three teams will qualify for the next year's Olympic Games in Tokyo.
