the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations is cancelled to
help stop the spread of the deadly Ebola
virus.

Hosts Morocco have asked the Confederation
of African Football to postpone the 17
January to 8 February event but the
organisers have refused.
Enyeama said: “I really hope it doesn’t
happen. It is risky, in Africa everyone is
hugging you and shaking your hand.
“But if Caf says it will happen I will play – if
Nigeria qualify.”
Moroccan officials are set to meet with Caf on
3 November to discuss their request to
postpone the tournament.
The Ebola virus has already claimed more
than 4,500 lives since the outbreak in west
Africa in March.
Caf has already approached South Africa,
Ghana and up to five other countries about
hosting the event should Morocco withdraw.
Caf officials are scheduled to meet in Algiers
on 2 November to discuss the situation
regarding the tournament, which has never
been postponed since its inaugural edition in
1957.
