The 2010 African Cup of Nations will be the 27th edition of the African Cup of Nations, the football championship of Africa (CAF). It will be hosted by Angola. [cite news |title=Angola to host 2010 Nations Cup |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/football/africa/5314036.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=2006-09-04 |accessdate=2006-09-27 ] Angola was awarded the right to host the tournament by CAF in a decision to rotate the hosting of the Cup and allow new nations like Angola, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea a chance to host the tournament. Bids from Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Senegal were rejected. Gabon and Equatorial Guinea were also awarded the hosting rights to the 2012 Nations Cup, while Libya would be hosting the event for the second time in 2014. Two-time former hosts, Nigeria is the reserve host for the 2010, 2012 and 2014 Nations Cups, in event that any of the host countries fail to meet the requirements established by CAF.

Bids

Nine countries were put on the first shortlist to host the tournament including one joint bid.

Qualification

The Confederation of African Football announced that the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification will also be the qualification for this tournament. Despite the fact Angola will be the host of the 2010 African Cup of Nations, they also need to participate in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification. A similar situation holds true for South Africa. Although they will be the hosts for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, they need to compete in the qualification tournament in order to qualify for the 2010 African Cup of Nations.
