CAF Drops Morocco As Host Of 2015 AFCON, Throws Out Morrocan Team by mgnace: 8:55pm On Nov 11, 2014
The Confederation of African Football CAF today dropped Morocco as host of the 2015 African Cup of Nations which is billed to start from Jan 17th-Feb 9th 2015. At an executive committee meeting which held this morning in Cairo Egypt, CAF's leadership said the decision to drop Morocco was as a result of the Moroccan authority's request to postpone the competition due to Ebola fears.

CAF leadership says they cannot postpone the competition and have withdrawn the rights of Morroco to host it. The Morrocan national team was also flung out of the competition.

Statement from CAF as posted on their website.......http://www.rholandace.com/2014/11/caf-drops-morocco-as-host-of-2015-afcon.html
