CAF Gives Ultimatum to Morocco On Hosting 2015 Afcon
MOROCCOW NATIONAL TEAM
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has maintained it will not move the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations from January and has given Morocco until Saturday to decide if they will host as scheduled. Morocco want a postponement because of fears over the Ebola outbreak.
CAF has asked Morocco to "clarify their position" by 8 November - a deadline also given to any countries who may want to step in as replacement hosts.
The governing body says a final decision will be made on 11 November. After a meeting in Rabat on Monday, CAF tweeted that it was "unanimous on keeping competition on the dates; namely from January 17 to February 8, 2015″, adding that Morocco has been asked "to clarify its final position not later than 8 November".
CAF also said it would convene again "on 11 November in Cairo, Egypt to take the necessary decisions" on the finals.
I would really love to go to Morocco for AFCON2015 but i guess the fear of Ebola is fighting the possibilities!!!F
