Kenya’s bid to host the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations has failed in the initial stage.
The development was confirmed on Monday morning following a Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) Exco meeting last week.
“Of the countries which submitted bids to the General Secretariat of Caf by the deadline of 30th September 2014, only four were determined to be compliant with the set criteria to be considered. Those are for Algeria, Egypt, Gabon and Ghana. The Executive Committee will finalize the date on which to take the vote to determine the host country.”
Kenya’s bid failed on the grounds on several grounds such: Being a previous host of the African Cup of Nations, Being a previous host of any Caf championship and acceptable infrastructure and facilities.
The new host country for 2017 edition will be named early next year after a decision reached by the Caf Exco.
Algeria look poised to win the rights especially after they impressed at the Caf Congress that took place in Ethiopia.
