Morocco and South Africa to Host ACN in 2015 and 2017

The 2015 Africa Cup of Nations will be hosted by Morocco while South Africa will host the 2017 tournament. The 2012 African Nations Cup finals are being co-hosted by Equatorial Guinea and Gabon while 2013 tournament is designated to Libya.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the executive committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) in Lubumbashi, DR Congo.

After the DR Congo withdrew its bid, Morocco and South Africa were the only countries bidding to stage the tournament .

The President of the South African Football Association (Safa) Kirsten Nematandani told reporters after the announcement that he was happy that they were awarded the 2017 edition.

Morocco and South Africa were engaged in a fierce battle for the right to host the 2010 World Cup, which South Africa won in a tight 14-10 vote in Zurich in 2004.
