CAIRO - Football's African Youth
Championships is being moved from Libya due to the unrest in the
country, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) said on

The eight-nation tournament, which serves as Africa's

later in the year, was due to be played in Tripoli and Benghazi
from March 18 to April 1.
"Due to security concerns and the current unstable political
situation in Libya, the competition has been postponed to a
later date and a location to be confirmed by CAF in the next few
days," a statement from the Cairo-based organisation said.
