DisGuy:
They have been looking for a way to give Morroco since.

luvinhubby:
Willing to bet 10k with anybody, Nigeria will be given the hosting right to compensate Pinnick for his risky loyalty to the new CAF president.

Kenya were on Saturday stripped of the right to host the 2018 African Nations Championship (CHAN) following a meeting of the CAF executive committee in Accra.

The decision was announced at a media conference at Tang Palace Hotel after a one-day meeting of the African football "cabinet" headed by CAF President Ahmad Ahmad.
Slow preparations for the January 12-February 4 tournament led to a decision widely anticipated for several weeks.


A CAF inspection team departed Kenya in September to report that only one of the four venues was ready to stage the tournament restricted to home-based footballers.
Some CAF officials also expressed concern about the political situation in Kenya, where recently annulled presidential elections are set to be rerun late October.

It is the second time the regional economic powerhouse has lost the right to stage a CAF competition after being replaced by South Africa as 1996 Africa Cup of Nations hosts.

There has been media speculation that Morocco or South Africa may replace Kenya.

Angola, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Congo Brazzaville, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria, Sudan, Uganda and Zambia have qualified for the 2018 finals.

Kenya completed the line-up as the host nation – a position they now forfeit.

IamPatriotic:
CAF should say the truth, it's not as a result of shady preparation anything, but political instability and ethnic clashes.

MadCow1:
Lucky Kenya..


These tournaments are a waste of resources and energy.

They put so much demand on scare resources to build new stadiums and hotels for a 3 week tournament and after that these stadiums become relics

bayocanny:

Can you tell me the year in which we hosted the U-17 world cup and CAF cup of nations, can you compare the socio-economic and political terrain of that time to this present stage we are?.
Lots of factors comes into play when a country si selected to host a particular football tournament.

Evestar200:
they are already Stadium in Nigeria That doesn't need upgrade but clean up.

E.g The Abuja Stadium need clean up,
Taslim Balogun Stadium is there.
Akwa Ibom State Stadium
The new River State Stadium ( can't pronounce the name)
The new Kastina Stadium
Even Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin can also host any game.

All those Stadiums are good to host any game.
And thier capacities is 30k and above.

We all see the kind of stadiums other African countries use to host AFCON games ,ours is better than those ones

shervydman:

that's exactly what I'm talking about too......only south Africa n Egypt has better infrastructure(standard pitch, training ground et al) than Nigeria in the continent.

LeSudAfricaine:
Really? Algeria, Morrocco, Tunisia?

Pidgin2:


There's also National stadium Lagos, there's another good stadium in Calabar, just ignore those unpatriotic elements saying we lack infrastructure. I think it's a waste hosting Chan though

DeRay98:


Before, you speculate, have you seen the venues and their level of preparation?
You should because I have seen it on video and it's not good. They won't be ready in time.

shervydman:

the last u-17 we hosted was in 2009. if u're talking about political stuffs; fine, but saying we don't have infrastructure is not right. i'm not really sure if many African countries have the infrastructure we have.

Fiwayemi:
hosting can only be giving to a country who did not qualify.nigeria cannot host it because we have already qualify. Ghana,morocco,south africa etc can host it

ExAngel007:
move the tournament to nigeria
