Libya Stripped Of Right To Host 2017 Nations Cup by Nobody: 3:59pm On Aug 23, 2014
CAPE TOWN, Aug 23 (Reuters) - Libya have been removed as hosts of the 2017 African Nations Cup finals as fighting in the country continues to rage, delaying plans to build new stadiums for the 16-team tournament.
The Confederation of African Football are inviting new bidders for the tournament, it said on its Twitter page (@CAF_Media) on Saturday.
Countries wishing to host the tournament have until Sept. 30 to send in expressions of interest, it added.
Libya were originally scheduled to host the Nations Cup in 2013 but because of their civil war, which led to the overthrow of long standing dictator Muammar Gaddafi, swapped with 2017 hosts South Africa.

I hope Nigeria submits a bid! We already have two world class stadiums in Abuja and Uyo, and this might be what creates the political impetus to remodel one of the lagos stadiums and one of the Eastern ones along with the Sani Abacha stadium in Kano which really should set nothing less than 40,000 people.

Angola hosted in 2010 with a full blown civil war going on. They even shot a Togolese team physio dead.
