In March 2012, the Algerian Football Federation announced that Algiers and Oran were the two candidate cities to host the competition. In May, Algiers was initially chosen as the host city of the competition. However, in August, the Algerian Football Federation announced that Oran and Aïn Témouchent would replace Algiers as the host cities, due to the lack of available stadiums in the latter city.
