Angola
The tournament hosts are appearing in the African Nations Cup for the fourth time, and their last outing in 2008 was their best performance so far, losing in the Quarter Finals to eventual Tournament winner Egypt 2-1. However, for the 2010 African Nations Cup, Angola have been given a relatively easy Group containing Mali, Malawi and Algeria. As Mali and Malawi both qualified in Third Place in their respective Qualifying Groups, Angola will be confident of progressing to the Quarter Finals again.
