PORT Elizabeth's "Mr Soccer", Boya Chetty, is delighted that some of the biggest stars of the African game will be showing off their dazzling skills at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium when the city hosts the African Cup of Nations in January and February.

"This is a fantastic draw for the city and it will be wonderful having Ghana, Mali, Niger and DR Congo in our city," Chetty said.

Soccer fans in the Bay can expect a feast of international action, with the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium set to host eight matches, including a quarterfinal and the playoff for third and fourth places.
