The 28th Africa Cup of Nations will take place in West Africa and is hosted by two countries, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. The matches will be played in stadiums across both countries in the following cities: Libreville, Malabo, Bata, and Franceville. The tournament kicks off on January 21, 2012 in Bata (Equatorial Guinea), with the final taking place on February 12, in Libreville (Gabon).
Sudan is the only East African nation in the tournament. But Sudan started qualifying as one country, and is now two. Players from both Sudan, and what is now South Sudan, will be playing to win and hopefully this will be a chance for the people to feel a bond of unity. Libya and Tunisia will both still be playing despite going through revolutions in 2011. That's the power of soccer in Africa, nothing will stop the game from being played! Although the Libyan team will not be playing in their traditional green shirts, instead they'll be sporting new shirts bearing the pre-Gadhafi national flag. Togo did play for a spot in the tournament despite the horrific attack they endured in Angola, 2010. Unfortunately they failed to qualify. Egypt also failed to qualify despite winning the tournament a record seven times, including the last tournament played in Angola in 2010.
