Morocco Denies Pulling Out As Hosts Of 2015 AFCON by sureteeboy(m): 6:51pm On Oct 18, 2014 |
Morocco has denied that it had withdrawn hosting of the 2015 AFCON. The North African country however insists that they still want the tournament postponed, forcing a conflict with organisers. The Confederation of African Football has maintained its stance that the tournament, to be held between January 17 and February 8, must go ahead as planned. The ebola virus has claimed more than 4,000 lives since the start of the year, and with around a million spectators expected to travel to watch the tournament, Morocco sports minister Mohamed Ouzzine reiterated the country’s desire to for a postponement. “Our concern is the health of Africa, and based on WHO [World Health Organisation] reports and guidelines, we have to listen,” he said. “Zero safety does not exist, but one has to take the necessary precautions so that the coming tournament will be a football feast, bringing together our African brothers, but given the current ebola situation we don’t think such a feast can take place as expected. “I don’t think there is any state or any country that has the necessary capabilities to monitor, check and control the current ebola situation when faced with these numbers. This is our real problem. We don’t have a problem with visiting teams, we have a problem with visitors.” www.thenationonlineng.net/new/morocco-denies-pulling-out-as-hosts-of-2015-afcon/ |

Are they scared of ban? They have a good reason though. Fear of Ebola is the beginning of wisdom... Possessing my possession (FTC) since 1904. 6 Likes |

they have a valid point though..... If the Afcon should hold as scheduled, it would be a massive economic loss to them because they'd have to ban travels from affected regions....... even at that, ebola wl still find a way into their border. 5 Likes |
