refusing to host the football tournament due to fears over it helping
to spread the deadly Ebola virus.
The North African country failed to meet yesterday's deadline to
announce it would be hosting the tournament, with the Confederation of
African Football saying it is now considering other nations.
The news comes after Morocco's Ministry of Sport demanded the
tournament be postponed for a year amid the world's worst ever Ebola
outbreak - with the virus already infecting more than 13,000 people
and killing almost 5,000 in the three worst-hit countries, Sierra
Leone, Guinea and Liberia.
