The South African Football Association revealed its bid to host the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.
The 2010 World Cup host will build on the facilities installed for the football tournament this year. If successful, this will be the second time South Africa organizes the Nations Cup. The first was in 1996.
Morocco is the other candidate to host the 2015 finals, with the North Africans having declared their intention to stage the event in either 2015 or 2017.
The next Nations Cup tournament will be co-hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea in 2012, while Libya will stage in 2013 as the finals move to an odd year for the first time since 1965.
Safa chief Kirsten Nematandani is confident that the World Cup success will help South Africa organize another football tournament.
"There will be no question of infrastructure because it is here. There will be no question of transport because it is here. World-class stadiums are here. We have everything”, said Nematandani.
