Not Clear

"Equatorial Guinea will host the opening game with Gabon hosting the rest of the tournament." Not quite sure what is meant by this. E. Guinea has 2 stadium according to the article to be used for the tournament but this line implies that only the opening game will be played in the country. If it is only hosting the one game then how come it has two stadiums? 94.196.41.68 (talk) 15:02, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nigeria ban

It is a grand mistake to remove Nigeria from the table of the competition, the country's president says in no way interferes with the football federation of Nigeria, is independent, he has no power to revoke the selection of the country.

Fifa, who actively discourage government intervention in national associations, issued a response, saying: "We have no official information on this matter. However, in general, Fifa's position regarding political interference in football is well known."
