The Confederation of African Football will announce the host cities and stadiums for next year’s African Cup of Nations on April 4.

Host association, the South African Football Association says the match venues will be made public during a visit by CAF officials.

According to Safa, representatives from eight bidding venues were presenting their cases for the 16-team event in January and February next year.

South Africa took over the 2013 African Cup from troubled Libya. Libya will host in 2017.
