Morocco stripped of 2015 Nations Cup and disqualified
Print Edition
MOROCCO has been stripped of the right to host next year’s African Nations Cup, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) decided yesterday as it examined prospective replacements.
It has also disqualified Morocco from playing in the finals, which CAF said would go ahead as planned on the scheduled dates of January 17-February 8.
Morocco’s removal as host follows the north African country’s request for a postponement of the tournament over fears of the spread of the deadly Ebola virus. Morocco believes thousands of travelling supporters from west Africa pose a risk and wanted a postponement of at least six months while the fight against Ebola intensified. But CAF rejected any change to the planned dates citing a packed calendar. It gave Morocco an ultimatum of Saturday to withdraw its request which was rejected.
