Africa Cup of Nations in jeopardy in wake of Ebola fears

The 2015 Africa Cup of Nations has been thrown into doubt after Moroccan football bosses ignored a deadline to confirm whether they will host the tournament.

A deadline of November 8 had been set by the Confederation of African Football amid fears over the spread of Ebola.

The three-week competition is due to get underway in January, but Sky Sports News claims that Morocco are seeking a postponement to avoid the risk of spreading the virus.

A further decision on the tournament will now be made next week, although it is thought that Morocco will be stripped as hosts.
