BREAKING: Morocco withdraws as CAN 2015 host….

Post by Enugu II »

Oluwashina Okeleji ‏@oluwashina 3h3 hours ago
#Morocco have withdrawn as hosts of #Afcon2015 due to #Ebola fears. CAF boss Hayatou off to #SouthAfrica, according to @samymojtabi.
Wow! Is Hayatou going to ask South Africa to host. If it happens, does that give Nigeria a way into the finals? Or should Nigeria bid and then qualify automatically? Just thinking.

Key point!

However, CAF will try to salvage whatever is available to ensure competition happens in January 2015 and South Africa might be the most viable card to play this late. The other option is actually Nigeria or Ghana. Zambia/Tanzania is a long shot this late.

They don't see themselves as Africans anyway...

Nigeria should host it. I think we can be ready in January. With that said Morocco is wrong for this. Why wait this late...

Does this finally prove that Morocco has institutional racism towards sub-Saharan Africa/ if any one cared for the plight of western saharans this tourney should never have been given to morocco to begin with

This was a difficult decision. Morocco make most of their revenue from tourism.

If ebola break out they are done.

Nigeria should offer CAF a bail out card sharp sharp. This one that we are struggling to qualify get as e bi.
2 of the finest indigenous coaches Nigeria ever had lost in a space of 4 days. Dear Lord, is this a sign that you are taking away from us what we failed to appreciate? I pray for forgiveness of our sins. I pray for the humility to recognize our wrongs and the humbleness and wisdom to right our ways.

Maybe the thought of seeing Algeria lift the trophy in Morocco is worse than Ebola... Therefore, The decision was wise :taunt: :taunt: :taunt:

You mean NFF should host it. FGN has no business spending money hosting any tournament! We have better things to do. FGN should stop interferring in FIFA/CAF/NFF activities. :tic:

Cameroun should host it!

Having hosted a WC four years ago, a nations cup last year, a home based nations cup this year I think SA is the only option if the competition must go ahead in February as they still have most things in place.

The big job Hayatou will have though is convincing South Africans that a Morocco backed out of this out of Ebola fear, yet you are telling them to host it at short notice with minimal gains. Are they immune?

Morocco really yab!

Probably but I doubt CAF will allow it. They can't withdraw from hosting and still want to participate. They are either in fully or out.

Many things are against Nigeria hosting at such short notice. Almost all our stadiums now have artificial pitches to start with; boko dey do their own for north east, mend dey do their own for south south, the risk of ebola still dey west africa and elections dey come up.

If South Africa do host it, and CAF decide that they qualify as hosts, the top two other teams in the group probably won't qualify automatically.

What's more likely is that South Africa's qualifiers would be downgraded to friendlies and a new league table would be formed from the other results between the 3 teams.
