Angola is ‘on track' to host the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations, African Football Confederation president Issa Hayatou said in Cairo.

A South African media report suggested the biennial tournament might be moved to the hosts of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ because Angola were battling to complete construction of four stadiums.

Danny Jordaan, a senior FIFA World Cup organising committee figure, said before the Cairo meeting that the readiness of Angola to stage the 16-nation African football showcase would be discussed.

Hayatou, a Cameroonian who has run the continental football body since 1988, congratulated Angola 2010 chief Antonio Mangueira for the efforts of his organising committee.

Luanda is scheduled to host a 20 November draw that will split the 16 qualifiers into four groups ahead of the 10-31 January tournament in the Angolan capital, Benguela, Cabinda and Lubango.

In addition to automatic qualifiers Angola, Algeria, Ghana and Ivory Coast have secured places at a tournament won by six-time champions Egypt in 2006 and 2008.
