However, the continent football governing body failed to respond, prompting the government’s decision to pull out to avoid the risk of Ebola spread to the North African country, supersport.com reports.
A close source at the Ministry of Sports told superspot.com: “Since CAF rejected all our requests and suggestions then we are forced to withdraw from hosting AFCON 2015 with immediate effect to preserve the safety of our citizens and for that we are prepared to accept any decision that comes with our actions.”
The withdrawal of Morocco has put South Africa in the focus as next hosts after SAFA President Danny Jordan met with CAF President Issa Hayatou to discuss the matter.
