The football championship of Africa (CAF) got 3 bids before 30 September 2010, the deadline, to host either the 2015 or 2017 Africa Cup of Nations from Morocco, DR Congo and South Africa. The three bids were put on a short list. However, Morocco was attractive to host the Africa cup of nations 2015 due to its highly developed infrastructure and advanced stadiums in place. CAF started an inspection procedure, set to visit each bidding country to view stadiums, infrastructure, and national football interest. The first to  inspect was DR Congo. After the inspection, DR Congo notified CAF about their intention to withdraw their bids for both the 2015 and 2017 Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.

Morocco was the next country to be inspected after DR Congo, CAF visited the country in early November 2010. While South Africa was inspected in December 2010.

Finally, on 29 January, CAF Board decided that Morocco will host 2015 African Cup of Nations tournament.
