The 2012 African Cup of Nations will be the 29th edition of the African Cup of Nations, the soccer championship of Africa (CAF). It will be co-hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. Both countries won the right to host the tournament after defeating a Nigerian bid along with two other nations, Angola and Libya. Bids from Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Senegal were rejected. For the first time in CAF history, the hosts of three succesive tournaments were chosen; Angola was chosen to host in 2010, Gabon/Equatorial Guinea were chosen as hosts for the 2012 cup and Libya for the 2014 edition.
