FIFA Confaim Morocco As Club Wcup Host by Calebosko(m): 6:50am On Nov 13, 2014
Morocco, which last week declined to host
the African Nations Cup in January because of
fears over Ebola, will host the Club World Cup
next month as planned, soccer's governing
body Fifa said on Thursday.
"The Club World Cup 2014 will take place in
Morocco and all preparations continue as
planned," Fifa said on Twitter.
The tournament, which also took place in
Morocco last year, is held annually and
features the champion clubs of each
continent.

Leave all these grammar. This is pure racism. We should not coat the truth. With or without the Cup of Nations, an Ebola person can get to Morocco.

Are you saying due to the Club World Cup, there is an immunity to the virus from travellers?

The Moroccan authorities should reject the Club World Cup due to fear of someone with Ebola coming in as a tourist. If they do not, then...

This only shows how disunited we are in Africa, an african nation refusing to host afcon but hosting a world club cup, hypocrites of the highest order, Anyway Morocco has just confirmed one of my opinions about North Africans over the years, they should be either be members of the asian federation or Uefa. The only reason I feel they like playing in africa is because they have more chances of winning trophies especially at the club level in the continent.

Let's not deceive ourselves they don't really feel at home playing with other africans and they have created a bad precedence especially for the northern african region. If am CAF president I will relocate CAF headquarters from Egypt. Nonsense

abi o, if its the world cup, can they dare FIFA that they will not host? you've said it all they don't value afcon, perhaps they've look at the economic gains and feel its not worth it.

This just shows why the economies of african countries need to improve and reduce poverty to avoid such embarrassment, if there was enough cash to be made from afcon by Morocco, am sure they won't even mind to welcome ebola as one of the guests.

CAF is a body under FIFA. FIFA members should frown at the decision of the Moroccan FA.

Am sure you mean Moroccan FA instead of Egyptian FA, the truth is FIFA don't send us at all in Africa, they only care about us when its time for FIFA Presidential elections cos of the huge number of FAs on the continent which is well more than 50, It is expected they show solidarity but who cares, they even came out to say that their world club cup will go on as planned which is a big mockery on the continent.

Thanks. Moroccan FA.

The FIFA announcement shows their stance.

I believe morocco bidded b4 they got afcon, meanin they actually wanted to host it since it was not forced upon them in the first place.
Now u can compare hostin the club stuff where its jus fans of 1 club from africa to afcon with fans of 15 countries!!! As such the fact is the chances of multiple entry of ebola into the country is much higher at afcon than the club world cup(FACT!)
No doubt ebola can come from anywhere at anytime, but the best a reponsible govt can do is work with facts and hope for the best.
Afterall egypt, south africa, nigeria have ruled them selves out as well
Re: FIFA Confaim Morocco As Club Wcup Host by Badosqi(m): 8:38pm On Nov 13, 2014
Actually these north Africans don’t accept that they are in Africa. To them sSA Africa and their Africa are 2 different worlds. That is why they are part of MENA (Middle East and North Africa- they want to camouflage the fact that this is an ARAB grouping). They even wanted to be considered in the UEFA, but were rejected. So Morocco will host the Club World Cup because they have targeted the World Cup proper at some future date. Remember they bid to host the WC in the 1980s.

Yeah....I was extremely surprised to hear that the winning cash was that pig feed 1.5mil. Seriously caf...u shud be paying atleast 25mil. The whole thing doesn't have any seriousness attached to it.
