CAF: Morocco Barred From Nations Cups 2015 And 2017 by kaywizee(m): 6:13pm On Nov 15, 2014 |
Equatorial Guinea replaces Morocco as 2015 Nations Cup hosts CAF cutting out Morocco from Nations Cup is 'unfair,' says Benatia Morocco warns CAF over potential 'harsh sanctions' Morocco will be barred from the next two Africa Cup of Nations as punishment for refusing to host the 2015 edition in January-February, Confederation of African Football president Issa Hayatou said on Saturday. "We are going to stick to the rules, that means elimination from the next two Nations Cups," Hayatou told France's L'Equipe sports daily. "On top of that there will be the financial and moral damages to calculate." Morocco are facing a 20 million dollar (16 million euros) fine for refusing to host the 2015 Cup in its scheduled January 17-February 8 slot over fears of the spread of the deadly Ebola epidemic to the popular tourist destination, Morocco's Le Matin newspaper suggested this week. The north African state had called for the Cup to be postponed, but organisers CAF rejected their request, stripping them of their position as hosts and barring them from playing in the continental showcase. Oil-rich Equatorial Guinea, which co-hosted the 2012 edition with Gabon, were named as Morocco's replacement as hosts for the troubled 2015 tournament on Friday. Aside from the former Spanish colony in west Africa who now qualify automatically, three countries are assured of their place in the troubled 2015 Cup - Tunisia, Algeria and Cape Verde Islands. There are 12 qualifiers scheduled for Saturday with defending champions Nigeria needing a victory in Congo Brazzaville to have a realistic chance of qualifying. http://oyiidoma..com/2014/11/morocco-barred-from-nations-cups-2015.html?m=1 |

ROSSIKE: Not having dark skin =/= non African. I think Morocco did the right thing. Protecting the Moroccan people is and always should be their number one priority. |
