Louis Claude Moundzieoud Koumba, chief spokesman for the organising committee COCAN Gabon, said on Friday the 40,000-seat stadium in Libreville (pictured) and the 25,000-seat ground in Franceville were now finished.
"We can assure you that everything is ready to host the tournament," Koumba said through a translator. "It was a challenge but it was a priority for the country and now they are waiting for the fans."
"[Gabon] President [Ali Bongo] visited the infrastructure sites at least once a week to make sure everything was completed."
The infrastructure problems facing the organisers were highlighted last month during Gabon's friendly match against Brazil when the game was delayed by almost 20 minutes after the lights went off twice at the new Sino-Gabonese Friendship Stadium in Libreville.
"Everything on the field has been resolved and the drainage system has been modified," he said. "I can assure you everything is in excellent performing condition."
"There are 4,500 beds in Libreville and 2,000 in Franceville, but that doesn't include hotels that were constructed especially for personnel and athletes," he said.
"Gabon has a tradition of hospitality and peace and welcomes fans. The African people have a tradition of inviting and hosting people in their homes," he said.
"If the supporters are unable to get to an embassy, they can access the visa at the airport in Gabon," Koumba said.
"The Cup of African Nations usually runs at 40 percent capacity and we will surpass that. We have a lot of expatriates and a large international community and we know that they will be requesting tickets and we believe that the stadiums will be full," he said.
Gabon will host 16 games and tickets for the home team's matches have already sold out. Koumba said
