he 2010 Africa Cup of Nations, also known as the Orange Africa Cup of Nations for sponsorship reasons, is the 27th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations, the biennial football championship of Africa (CAF). It is being held in Angola, where it began on 10 January 2010 and will conclude on 31 January.

In the tournament, the hosts Angola were to be joined by 15 nations who successfully advanced from the qualification process that began in October 2007 and involved 53 African national teams. The withdrawal of Togo after a terrorist attack on their bus upon arriving for the tournament reduced the number of participating nations to 15, meaning Angola were joined by only 14 teams. A total of 29 games will be played.

Qualified teams

* Burkina Faso
* Cameroon

* Egypt
* Gabon
