Morocco out of African Cup
Print Edition
MOROCCO will be barred from the next two Africa Cup of Nations as punishment for refusing to host the 2015 edition in January-February, Confederation of African Football President Issa Hayatou said yesterday.
“We are going to stick to the rules, that means elimination from the next two Nations Cups,” Hayatou told France’s L’Equipe sports daily. “On top of that there will be the financial and moral damages to calculate.”
Morocco is facing a US$20 million fine for refusing to host the 2015 Cup in its scheduled January 17-February 8 slot over fears of the spread of the deadly Ebola epidemic to the popular tourist destination.
The north African state had called for the Cup to be postponed.
Oil-rich Equatorial Guinea, which co-hosted the 2012 edition with neighbor Gabon, has since been named as Morocco’s replacement.
