The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, also known as the Orange Africa Cup of Nations for sponsorship reasons, to be held from 19 January to 10 February 2013, will be the 29th Africa Cup of Nations, the football championship of Africa organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).[1] Originally Libya won the right to host the tournament after defeating a Nigerian bid along with three other bid winning nations, Angola, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. Bids from Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Senegal were rejected and did not reach the shortlist. 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 due to the Libyan civil war, Libya traded years with South Africa, so that South Africa is hosting in 2013 and Libya will be hosting in 2017. This was ratified in september 2011 at Caf's Executive Committee in Cario.[2]
The winner of the tournament will qualify for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil as the representative from CAF.[3]
Bids shortlist
Five countries were put on the shortlist to host the tournament including one joint bid.[citation needed]
- Angola
- Gabon / Equatorial Guinea
- Libya
- Nigeria (Reserved Hosts)
Other countries that failed in their bids were:[4]
Qualification
A total of 47 countries entered the qualification, including South Africa, which automatically qualified. Libya was not allowed to keep its automatic qualification after being stripped of its hosting rights due to the Libyan civil war. Many teams made their return to the finals in this tournament. The hosts, South Africa will make their return after a 4-year absence. Ethiopia will appear for the first time since 1982 (a 31-year absence). Other teams absent from the 2012 finals that will feature in 2013 are Nigeria, Togo, DR Congo, and Algeria. Cape Verde will make their finals debut. The teams that didn't qualify for this tournament from the 2012 African Cup of Nations were both co-hosts, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, Libya, Senegal, Sudan, Guinea and Botswana. South Sudan were ineligible to participate as the qualifying competition had already started by the time their membership of CAF was confirmed.
