Which Teams Have Qualified for the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations in Angola?
Update: Full Angola 2010 schedule here.
This weekend was the World Cup qualifying climax in Africa, and there was plenty of qualification drama to go around. The winners of each of the five groups qualified for World Cup 2010, and everyone else missed out. But there was a pretty decent consolation prize for the ten second and third placed teams, as World Cup qualifying doubles as Africa Cup of Nations qualifying and the top three in each group qualified for the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations (also known as the African Nations Cup, ACN and CAN) in Angola.
Those 15 nations plus hosts Angola will compete for the trophy Egypt won in both 2006 and 2008. The 16 Angola 2010 teams will be:
Angola
Ghana
Cote d’Ivoire
Tunisia
Algeria
Egypt
Cameroon
Gabon
Nigeria
Mali
Benin
Burkina Faso
Mozambique
Zambia
Togo
Malawi
Angola 2010 runs from January 10th to January 31st in 2010. It will be a nice straigthforward four groups of four, top two teams from each group makes the quarterfinals setup. The groups will be drawn this Friday, November 20th, 2009.
UDPATE: I should have pointed this out firs time around, but South Africa have failed to qualify for Angola 2010. They entered qualification along with everyone else, but were knocked out at the second round (the first group stage). Big blow for South Africa not to qualify for Angola, as the tournament could have provided vital tournament practice.
