Sports › Morocco Set To Withdraw As AFCON 2015 Hosts by mummyson26(op): 11:33am On Oct 16, 2014 |
Morocco looks set to withdraw its rights to host the African Cup of Nations next year due to fears of the viral disease Ebola, which has ravaged a number of African nations over the last few months, spreading to their country.
The Morocco government, through the federation, had given CAF three scenarios: to either let them host the 2017 Afcon, CAF to postpone Afcon 2015 to 2016 or Morroco pulling out out completely and facing any consequence from CAF.
A close source at the Ministry of Sports said: "Should CAF rejected all our requests and suggestions then we would be forced to withdraw from hosting Afcon 2015 to preserve the safety of our citizens and for that we are prepared to take any consequences that comes with our actions."
South Africa could be considered as an alternative as well as Sudan who put up their request to CAF to be considered as an alternative host country.
South Africa was initially scheduled to host the tournament in 2017 following the withdrawal of Libya as hosts due to ongoing fighting there.
Egypt, meanwhile, had also indicated interest in hosting next year’s Nations Cup, stating its confidence in organising the competition on short notice.
Afcon 2015 is scheduled to take place between January 17 to February 8 2015. Morocco will be subject to severe sanctions, including suspension of their national teams and clubs, if they do eventually pull out.
