CAF have announced a few minutes ago that Equatorial Guinea are the new hosts of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations after Morocco were removed for expressing fears about Ebola.
Morocco were thrown out after asking the Confederation of African football (CAF) to
postpone the tournament, which is due to begin on January 17th.
Equatorial Guinea were also thrown out of the tournament in July for fielding an illegible player during the qualifying process, but will now be reinstated as hosts.
The man who organised the 2008 event in Ghana has already expressed fears that starting the cup on time will be impossible.
Dr Kofi Amoah told the BBC: "It could be a sham. I don't think there is enough time for anyone to do it."
CAF President Issa Hayatou insists: "The 2015 Africa Cup of Nations must absolutely take place from January 17th to February 8th."
This just shows how desperate and unorganized CAF are.How can you bring back Equatorial Guinea to host a tournament in which they had been thrown out only 4 months ago?
So many countries were reluctant to host the African Nations cup tournament,so CAF decided to give it to anyone.How are they gonna justify Equatorial Guinea being re instated to the African cup of Nations tournament?What kind of message does that send?Yet they had the audacity to ban Morocco for having a genuine worry about Ebola disease.The fact that other countries turned down the tournament alone should tell CAF that it was justifiable.But i guess the money all those fat corrupt officials wanna make is waht is paramount to them!
Good luck with the African Nations Cup tournament and i sincerely hope it goes without a hitch and not a single Ebola incident.
