Morocco pulls out of 2015 Africa Cup of Nations over the fear of Ebola

The Confederation of African football (CAF) will have to shop for a new host for the 2015 African Nations Cup as hitherto hosts, Morocco, announced on Thursday that they are no longer willing to host the bi-annual football tournament. The North African country, who interestingly will be hosting the FIFA World Club tournament, had earlier asked CAF to postpone the tournament due to the spread of Ebola virus in parts of West Africa. However, the continental football body insisted that the tournament would go ahead in January 2015 as originally scheduled. It was in this light that Morocco has now informed CAF that the tournament poses health and security risk to its citizens if it should hold on the earlier agreed date. And since both parties could not reach a compromise, they are no longer interested in hosting the competition. Morocco’s withdrawal puts CAF in a desperate position. With less than three months to go to the kickoff of the competition, the continental football governing body is yet to announce replacement for the North African country. Already, host of the 2013 edition, South Africa are said to be on standby to host the tournament while Ghana is also said to be ready to host the football showpiece.

The question now is which country will be bold and brave enough to host?
