Angola 2010: Africa Cup of Nations Groups and Schedule

November 20th, 2009 | by: Daryl | View Comments

The groups for the Africa Cup of Nations 2010 were drawn today, which should go at least some way to cheering up teams like Egypt and Tunisia who very narrowly missed the World Cup 2010 boat.

The tournament takes place in Angola from January 10th to January 31st, 2010. We’ve got blogs and bloggers for 12 of the 16 teams involved in the tournament. If you’d like to blog for one of the bloggerless teams then see the bottom of this post for details.

Time difference: Angola is GMT+1. So it’s one hour ahead of the UK and six hours ahead of US eastern. So… a 17:00 (5pm) kickoff in Angola is 4pm in the UK and 11am on the east coast of the US.
