The 2012 Africa Cup of
Nations will be the 28th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations, the football championship
of Africa organized by the Confederation of
African Football (CAF). It will be co-hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea . The two
countries won the right to host the tournament after defeating a Nigerian bid
along with two other bid winning nations, Angola and Libya . Bids
from Mozambique , Namibia ,Zimbabwe and Senegal were
rejected. For the first time in CAF history, the hosts of three successive
tournaments were chosen at the same time; Angola was chosen to host in 2010,
Gabon/Equatorial Guinea were chosen as hosts for the 2012 cup and Libya for the 2013
edition, however a decision by CAF to move the competition to South Africa means
Libya will not host. Nigeria
was chosen as a stand-by host in the event that one of the chosen nations were
to become unsuitable.
