The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, also known as the Orange Africa Cup of Nations South Africa 2013 for sponsorship reasons, held from 19 January to 10 February 2013, was the 29th Africa Cup of Nations, the football championship of Africa organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).{{cite web|title=CAF Executive Committee decisions: CAN in odd years from 2013 |url=http://www.cafonline.com/football/news/5564-caf-executive-committee-decisions-can-in-odd-years-from-2013.html |publisher=Confederation of African Football |access-date=27 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100620153913/http://www.cafonline.com/football/news/5564-caf-executive-committee-decisions-can-in-odd-years-from-2013.html |archive-date=20 June 2010 |url-status=dead}} Starting from this edition, the tournament was switched to being held in odd-numbered years instead of even-numbered years so that it does not clash with the FIFA World Cup.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/africa/8685251.stm |title=Africa Cup of Nations Cup to move to odd-numbered years |date=16 May 2010 |work=BBC Sport |publisher=BBC |access-date=13 February 2012}} This edition was therefore the first to be held in an odd numbered year since 1965.

South Africa hosted the tournament for the second time, after previously hosting the 1996 African Cup of Nations. The 2013 tournament is the highest attended edition of the Africa Cup of Nations under the 16-team format. The South African team was eliminated in the quarter-finals by Mali, following a penalty shoot-out. Zambia were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the group stage.

Nigeria won its third Africa Cup of Nations championship with a 1–0 victory over Burkina Faso in the final. Nigeria participated in the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil as the representative from CAF.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/confederationscup/qualifiers/index.html |title=Qualifiers – FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013 |publisher=FIFA |access-date=2012-02-18 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111229051827/http://www.fifa.com/confederationscup/qualifiers/index.html |archive-date=29 December 2011}}

Host selection

Bids :

  • Angola (selected as hosts for 2010)
  • Gabon / Equatorial Guinea (selected as hosts for 2012)
  • Libya (selected as hosts for 2013)
    Subsequently swapped hosting year with South Africa (2017)
  • Nigeria (selected as reserve hosts for 2010, 2012 & 2013 tournaments)

Rejected Bids :

  • Benin / Central African Republic
  • Botswana
  • Mozambique
  • Namibia
  • Senegal
  • Zimbabwe

On 4 September 2006, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) approved a compromise between rival countries to host the Africa Cup of Nations after it ruled out Nigeria. CAF agreed to award the next three editions from 2010 to Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Libya respectively. They assigned Angola in 2010, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon, which submitted a joint bid in 2012, and Libya for 2014.

This edition was awarded to Libya for the second time after 1982 African Cup of Nations.

Two-time former host Nigeria was the reserve host for the 2010, 2012 and 2014 tournaments, in the event that any of the host countries failed to meet the requirements established by CAF, although this ended up being unnecessary

The 2014 tournament was pushed forward to 2013 and subsequently held in odd-numbered years to avoid year-clash with the FIFA World Cup.

=Libyan withdrawal=

Due to the Libyan Civil War, Libya traded years with South Africa, so that South Africa hosted in 2013 and Libya will be hosting in 2017. This was ratified in September 2011 at CAF's Executive Committee in Cairo, Egypt.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/15089244|title=South Africa replace Libya as 2013 Nations Cup hosts|publisher=BBC |date=28 September 2011|access-date=2 February 2012}}

Qualification

{{main|2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualification}}

A total of 47 countries entered the qualification, including South Africa, which automatically qualified. Libya was not allowed to keep its automatic qualification after being stripped of its hosting rights due to the Libyan Civil War.

Many teams made their return to the finals in this tournament. The hosts, South Africa returned after a 4-year absence. Ethiopia appeared for the first time since 1982 (a 31-year absence). Other teams absent from the 2012 finals that featured in 2013 were Nigeria, Togo, DR Congo, and Algeria. Cape Verde made its finals debut. Teams that didn't qualify for this tournament from the 2012 African Cup of Nations were both co-hosts, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, Libya, Senegal, Sudan, Guinea and Botswana. South Sudan was ineligible to participate as the qualifying competition had already started by the time its membership of CAF was confirmed.

Match ball

The official match ball for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations was manufactured by Adidas and named the Katlego, which means "success" in Tswana language. The name was chosen by African football fans via an online voting competition where it beat alternate names, Khanya (light) and Motswako (mixture).{{cite web|url=http://www.adidas.co.za/goallin/news/2012/10/za-afconball-gai-news |title=Adidas unveils the official match ball of the Orange Africa Cup of Nations 2013, South Africa |publisher=Adidas South Africa |date=25 October 2012 |access-date=19 January 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130413002051/http://www.adidas.co.za/goallin/news/2012/10/za-afconball-gai-news |archive-date=13 April 2013}}
