African Nations Cup football matches will be played in Cabinda despite Saturday's attack on the Togo team bus in the province.
After an extraordinary meeting, the African Football Confederation president and the members of the executive committee decided with the Angolan authorities to maintain the matches of Group B in Cabinda.
The CAF said it would understand if Togo, who have been drawn in Group B, decided to leave the tournament after three people were killed by gunmen in the attack as the team were travelling to the finals.
A Togolese minister said earlier the government had decided to pull the national team out of the tournament.
The other three teams in the group - Ghana, Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso - confirmed they would take part in the finals.
Cabinda is scheduled to host six group games - five in Group B and one Group A game between Mali and Malawi - as well as one of the quarter-finals.
A CAF spokesman said the tournament would kick off as planned with hosts Angola playing Mali in Luanda.
