GHANA HANDED GOOD CHANCE TO HOST AFCON 2017

Egypt has abandoned the race to host the 2017
African Cup of Nations, handing a major boost to
the chances of Ghana hosting the event.
This means that three nominees are still competing
to host this event- Algeria, Ghana and Gabon.
The reasons behind this decision were not
announced, but yet so predictable.
The Egyptian football has suffered during the last
years from a lot of violent events in the stadiums.
Recently, a lot of supporters were killed during a
first league game which obliged the Egyptian
federation of football to suspend the league.
In addition, the political situation in Egypt is not
quite stable which will make it harder for this
country to host such a big event.
If the information is confirmed, Algeria's chances
to host this competition will get even bigger.
A decision on the competition hosts will be made on
April 8th.
