Bids from Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Senegal were rejected and did not reach the shortlist. For the first time in CAF history, the hosts of three successive tournaments were chosen at the same time; Angola was chosen to host in 2010, Gabon/Equatorial Guinea were chosen as hosts for the 2012 cup and Libya for the 2014 edition. Nigeria was chosen as a stand-by host in the event that one of the chosen nations were to become unsuitable. It will be the second time that Libya hosts the event, the previous time being in 1982.
