An Announcement For Football Fans
Looking for reliable transportation during AFCON wonât be easy with hundreds of fans, both local and foreign, moving around the city during the competition. As the only transportation sponsor/partner so far, SWVL has announced that itâll be helping fans with some special surprises.
For the duration of AFCON, the mass transportation companyâs app will provide a flat and super affordable rate of 10EGP for all rides. This makes SWVL one of the most affordable transportation modes, both as mass and private transport, for the AFCON season.
This aligns with the companyâs positioning as an affordable and convenient transportation option for the daily commuter, and now for football fans.
The 10EGP flat rate also comes with the fact that app has also released a âprivate busâ option. For the big groups of friends, you can now order a private bus for you and your group to go and come back from stadiums across Cairo.
To make transportation back and forth to stadiums even easier, SWVL has announced special SWVL parking areas that will be stationed near stadiums for easier accessibility.

SWVLâs two options for AFCON matches are easy to use.
For a shared bus (the normal option); after downloading the app, all you have to do is select âWhere toâ and choose one of the AFCON games. From there you just have to choose your pickup location and confirm your booking.
