CAF ain't smiling, i like that, football is serious business
They lost a lot of revenue....plus relocation takes money.

Hence the anger.

I wonder if Nigerians would have accept to host nations cup during Ebola fears. I know over two third the people on nairaland would have refused such move amid fear of ebola


So from Moroccan point is understandable. If it was any day they would have host it but it was a deadly epidemic with no cure and fast spread. Who won't fear for his life over a tournament

India is a FIFA member....

The India national football team is governed by the All India Football Federation (AIFF). Since 1948, the AIFF has been affiliated with FIFA, the international governing body for football. In 1954, the AIFF became one of the founding members of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). At the peak of its success during the 1950s and 1960s, the team was automatically advanced to play in the 1950 FIFA World Cup (all the other Asian teams withdrew), but they did not go to the tournament in Brazil due to the cost of travel, lack of practice time, team selection issues and valuing the Olympics over the FIFA World Cup.[2] They won gold medals at two Asian Games and one silver at the Asian Cup.

When CAF gets angry.....CAF gets angry.

But I do not blame Morroco....it is cheaper to prevent Ebola from entering your country....than it is to treat a few dozen cases of the illness.

African countries....improve thy public health. We have a serious situation here.
what are u saying? Has ebola entered equitorial guinea now?

yet they hosted world club cup featuring R Madrid from Spain at a time when first Ebola case was discovered there

They refuse to host AFCON but hosted the Club World Cup succesfully
Re: Morocco Banned From 2017, 2019 AFCON, Fined $1million by Nobody: 12:02pm On Feb 07, 2015
Morocco is a big disgrace to Africa. They see themselves as Arabs and not Africans. That is why they are not part of African Union. The most annoying thing is that they agreed to host the FIFA Club World Cup. It just shows that they do not respect Africa.

Shame on Morocco
Shame on Royal Federation.

This is why I love Nigeria.
Even with Ebola, I am very sure that Nigeria will have put measures in place to host the Nations Cup, if we were given the rights since 2011.

Good one by CAF.

Of course not....and I even thought the Morrocans over-reacted. But...that is what you pay your health experts to do if you are the leader of a country or a football association....over-react.

In health care....better to be safe than sorry. Sawyer flew into Nigeria...with a fever. Like hundreds of other people. Who wants to take a chance that one of them has Ebola?

My point is clear bro; you don't trade the safety of your citizens for a tournament that have no "meaning". CAF should have postpone that tournament amidst the outbreak of the deadly ebola disease.

No sane country would have accepted that.

EQui Gui saw it as an opportunity to show to the world the little they have smiley

Well, I guess we all how it turned out undecided

Why didn't we accept it when Morroco withdrew?

Do you think 1million can erradicate ebola disease?

The Royal family in Maroc did the right thing.

Morroco is like a European country inside Africa. They know better.

We did not accept it because of elections. So you know, it is one thing to take responsibilities given to you and a totally different thing to put your head in what does not concern you. Nigeria did not sign a contract with CAF to host the Nations Cup, Morocco did, we are not obligated to host for them!
