Country cancels hosting of AFCON

Updated 10 Nov 2014 @ 14:17
Morocco has confirmed it will not hold the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2015 tournament due to the risk of the Ebola virus.  

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has reportedly approached potential alternative hosts for AFCON 2015 but with the first game due to kick-off on January 17, time is running out to make the necessary preparations.

CAF will meet in Egypt tomorrow to decide whether to cancel/postpone the tournament or announce a new host nation.
