Morocco Pulls Out Of Hosting Africa Cup Of Nations by Nobody: 3:08pm On Nov 11, 2014
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has confirmed that Morocco will not host the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations and has now been disqualified from the competition.
Speculation has been growing over the past few months over the likelihood of Morocco pulling out of hosting the tournament due to the outbreak of ebola in west Africa.
And now the governing body has confirmed that the nation has withdrawn as host of Afcon 2015 and will not participate in the tournament at all. http://m.goal.com/x/en-ng/news/6042541

I think this is Our chance for Automatic qualification. I don't see Keshi and his boys winning in Congo.

We have world class stadiums we can work on before the Tournament Kicks Off.
And most Importantly, We can contain Ebola.

South Africa hosted the last edition so their facilities, are still in good shape. They should be handed the hosting rights to make room for "yours truly" to slug it out with congo for the top spot in the group grin

But South Africa rejected the chance to host it in 2015.

Bring it On.
Nigeria can host it!
