Government chiefs in Nigeria have confirmed they intend to bid to host the 2010 African Nations’ Cup soccer tournament.
A statement by the Nigerian sports ministry said it would bid with a view to the event providing the springboard to its plans to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
The tournament, due to be held next year in Egypt, was last staged in Nigeria when it shared the hosting agreement with neighbours Ghana in 2000, and prior to that in 1980.
