BBC:
Seychelles have cancelled Saturday's 2015
Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against
Sierra Leone because of fears over the
Ebola virus.
It means Seychelles have forfeited the match
and consequently their place in the
competition.
Earlier on Thursday it was confirmed to BBC
Sport that Sierra Leone were prevented from
boarding a plane at Kenya's Nairobi Airport
that would have taken them to Seychelles for
the second-leg tie.
The decision to stop the team travelling was
taken by Seychelles immigration authorities,
who are concerned about the spread of the
deadly virus.
It followed the news that Sierra Leone's
president has declared a public health
emergency in the country to curb the
outbreak.
Seychelles Football Association president Elvis
Chetty told BBC Sport: "The decision is for
Seychelles FA to forfeit the match.
"I would like to state that the Seychelles FA
lays no blame at the feet of the Sierra Leone
FA for this.
"We have taken the decision because of the
advice sent to us by the Seychelles Ministry of
Health.
"We also received a letter from the Ministry of
Immigration saying it would not allow the
Sierra Leone team to enter our jurisdiction.
"They are asking us to postpone the game for
an indefinite period, so we feel it is right to
forfeit now rather than drag it out."
Sierra Leone, who had led the tie 2-0 after last
week's first leg, are now set to be awarded a
place in the next stage of the qualifiers.
Chetty added: "Looking purely from a football
point of view, I am extremely disappointed
about the situation. The country has been
more excited about this match than it has
been for a long time."
Seychelles have informally registered their
decision with the Confederation of African
Football and will submit a written notice in the
coming hours.
