Morocco has denied that it had withdrawn hosting of the 2015 AFCON.
The North African country however insists that they still want the
tournament postponed, forcing a conflict with organisers.
The Confederation of African Football has maintained its stance that the
tournament, to be held between January 17 and February 8, must go
ahead as planned.
The ebola virus has claimed more than 4,000 lives since the start of the
year, and with around a million spectators expected to travel to watch
the tournament, Morocco sports minister Mohamed Ouzzine reiterated
the country’s desire to for a postponement.
“Our concern is the health of Africa, and based on WHO [World Health
Organisation] reports and guidelines, we have to listen,” he said.
“Zero safety does not exist, but one has to take the necessary precautions
so that the coming tournament will be a football feast, bringing together
our African brothers, but given the current ebola situation we don’t think
such a feast can take place as expected.



“I don’t think there is any state or any country that has the necessary
capabilities to monitor, check and control the current ebola situation
when faced with these numbers. This is our real problem. We don’t have
a problem with visiting teams, we have a problem with visitors.”

Are they scared of ban? They have a good reason though. Fear of Ebola is the beginning of wisdom...

Possessing my possession (FTC) since 1904.

Hmmm.....

they have a valid point though.....

If the Afcon should hold as scheduled, it would be a massive economic loss to them because they'd have to ban travels from affected regions....... even at that, ebola wl still find a way into their border.

Morrocco don't want to lose its projected financial profits...


If I hear dem pull out...

Safety 1st bros

Why the confusion and contradiction
But this is really a bad timing for the tournament... Ebola is still on the move.

na der chops!!! in as much as Nigeria ain't playing!!!! d rest no consain world

omo Ebola bad iiiiooooi. caf beta think proactive now. if the dreaded virus will cause havoc during next years caf, then FIFA should beta come in fast. because dis Ebola can be a threat to football, considering the way football is played and where it is played.

God bless us all.

Good morning all.

my brother beta be possessed well wit a good possession, not wit FTC spirit possession. and d fact dat it has been since 1904 is bad ooi.

na wa ooo www..com

But the real fact is that it wil really be very difficult to monitor people coming 4 d tournament,most especialy 4rm ebola endemic countries. Morroco is realy taking d rite step,hw I wish caf can give a listening ear to them.m morocco shud jus step dwn n let any oda country ready to host the tournament 2 do soi..I pray all this favors Nigeria qualification.

The amount of lies circulating the internet would even make Devil shocked

Postpone the damn thing. na by force?

CAF should wise up and think this through, Ebola is not malaria that you threat with kids gloves.

Na their palava

Wo dey lie now

So who are we to believe now? Who will host the AFCON? Let them make up their minds fast or just shift the tournament.

Maybe nigeria not qualifying is a blessing in disguise, maybe.

Take the Afcon to Liberia and let us enjoy good soccer

African countries are learning fast from their big brother Nigeria where people make statements only to deny them later.

Ipledge:
Take the Afcon to Liberia and let us enjoy good soccer

That's a good idea.
