ORGANISERS of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa must choose which of the country’s sporting facilities will be used. With many facilities developed for the 2010 world Cup, eight cities have put their names forward - and officials may choose to use more than the minimum four venues. “We would love to stage the games in as many of the newly-built World Cup stadiums as possible,” South Africa Football Association (Safa) vice-president Mandla Mazibuko said. The numbers would be determined by “budgets and logistical planning”, he added. It can virtually certain that the opening game and the final will be hosted by Johannesburg’s FNB Stadium - so it will be a battle between other cities like Cape Town, Durban, Polokwane, Nelspruit, Port Elizabeth and Rustenburg, as to who gets to be part of the tournament. All have brand new and relatively underused sporting venues left over from 2010.
