Fans of African football can tune into the BBC's English for Africa sports programme Fast Track at 4.00pm GMT on Monday 4 September and be the first to know which African country will host the 2010 African Nations Cup.
Fast Track will broadcast the live announcement by the Confederation of African Football in Cairo, at around 4.45pm GMT.
Angola, Libya, Nigeria and joint-bidders, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon, will find out if they are the host.
Martin Davies, Editor of Fast Track, said: "It is great the BBC can bring such big news to so many people at the same time.
"2010 will be the biggest year yet for African football and for the first time ever the continent will host the Fifa World Cup - and who knows, perhaps they could win it!
"The eyes of the world will be trained on Africa and its football, so whoever hosts the African Nations Cup will have a unique opportunity to showcase the continent's football."
Football fans can also keep up with the latest results from the African Nations Cup qualifiers by visiting the BBC World Service African football website bbc.co.uk/africanfootball - a dedicated resource for fans of African football.
It also features issues which affect the sport, details of forthcoming fixtures, up-to-the-minute results, league tables and a special feature on players with African roots around the globe.
