Egypt has abandoned the race for hosting the 2017 African Cup of Nations, handing a major boost to the chances of Ghana hosting the event.
This means that three nominees are still competing for hosting this event which are Algeria , Ghana and Gabon .
The reasons behind this decision were not announced but still , they’re so predictable .
The Egyptian football has suffered during the last years from a lot of violent events in the stadiums.
Recently , a lot of supporters were killed during a first league game which obliged the Egyptian federation of football to suspend the league .
In addition , the political situation in Egypt is not quiet stable which will make it harder for this country to host such a big event .
If the information is confirmed , Algeria ‘s chances to host this competition will get even bigger.
The decision about the competition hosts will be made on April 8th .
