Caf unveils Ghana 2008 logo

The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has released the logo for the 2008 African Cup of Nations in Ghana.

The tournament will be held between January and February 2008 in four venues: Accra, Kumasi, Sekondi and Tamale.

Ghana previously hosted the continent's premier football tournament in 1963 and 1978 then co-hosted with Nigeria in 2000.

Preparation for the Nations Cup in Ghana is currently on-going with stadiums being built or renovated in all the venues.

Caf has twice inspected the hosts' infrastructure and given their progress the seal of approval.

The Caf inspection team is due for another visit to look at Ghana's facilities soon, although no date has yet been set.
