The 2010 Africa Cup of Nations, also known as the Orange Africa Cup of Nations for sponsorship reasons, will be the 27th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations, the biennial football championship of Africa (CAF). It is scheduled to take place between 10 and 31 January 2010 in Angola.[1][2] The tournament will see hosts Angola joined by 14 nations who successfully advanced from the qualification process that began in October 2007 and involved 53 African national teams.
Host selection
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 host Nigeria is the reserve host for the 2010, 2012 and 2014 Nations Cups, in the event that any of the host countries fails to meet the requirements established by CAF.
Squads
Qualification
The Confederation of African Football announced that the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification would also be the qualification for this tournament. Despite the fact Angola are the host of the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations, they also needed to participate in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification. A similar situation was true for South Africa. Although they will be the hosts for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, they still needed to compete in the qualification tournament in order to qualify for the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations[3].

◆ Host nation of the 2010 African Cup of Nations
Attack on the Togo national team
On 8 January 2010, the team bus of the Togo national football team was attacked by gunmen in Cabinda, Angola as it travelled to the tournament. A spokesman for the Togolese football federation said assistant coach Amalete Abalo and press officer Stanislaud Ocloo had died as well as the driver. The separatist group Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC) claimed responsibility for the attack. The Togolese team withdrew from the competition the following day. The players initially changed their minds and decided to compete to honour their fallen comrades, but later were ordered to return by the Togolese government.[4][5]

Togo initially decided to withdraw from the tournament following a terrorist attack on their team bus, but reversed the decision out of respect for the men who lost their lives.[8] Togo's prime minister, Gilbert Fossoun Houngbo, ordered the team to return home on 10 January 2010. The prime minister was quoted as saying "it would be irresponsible on the part of the authorities to let [the team] continue". [5]
