Libya have withdrawn from
hosting the Africa Cup of Nations
in 2017, citing the unstable
security situation in the country.
Initially due to host the
tournament in 2013, Libya were
forced to pull out of staging it in 2011 due to political
upheaval.
South Africa were named as replacement hosts following an
agreement that Libya would put on the 2017 edition, which
South Africa had originally been due to host.
On Saturday, however, it was announced that Libya would
once again have to withdraw after officials from the country
met with Issa Hayatou, president of the Confederation of
African Football (CAF).
A statement on CAF's official website confirmed the news and
that the search for a replacement host will now begin.
"The designation of the host for this competition will be made
according to the statutory provisions of CAF, especially in
conformity with articles 27 to 47 of the Regulations Governing
the Application of CAF Statutes," the statement read.
"The CAF headquarters in Cairo will receive applications until
Tuesday September 30, 2014.
"In addition to the government guarantee, and considering the
limited time left for the organisation of the 2017 edition, the
CAF Executive Committee will select a host country whose
dossier guarantees that accommodation, transportation and
hotels facilities, as well as training sites and stadiums already
exist.
"The designation of the host country will be made at a meeting
of the Executive Committee in 2015."
