Libya dropped as African Under-20 host due to unrest

... South Africa or Ghana to host

Libya will no longer host the African Under-20 tournament scheduled to begin on 18 March this year.

The wave of social and political unrest sweeping across the country has forced the Confederation of African Football (Caf) to move the tournament.

South Africa or Ghana are being touted as possible replacements but no decision has been made.

A new date will be set for the tournament after a final decision has been taken by Caf. Libya has been embroiled in civil strife for over a week with protesters asking for the country's leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi to step down.
