AFCON 2015

With just one week to the end of the AFCON Qualifiers, CAF is unsettled for the fact that there is not host for the tournament
CAF President Issa Hayatou is uncertain where the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations will take place following the withdrawal of Morocco and rejection of the offer as alternative host by South Africa, Ghana and recently, A Angola
Morocco decided to pull out as CAF would not
accede to its demand of a postponement and CAF would not let the North African nation circumvent the football statutes which the Royal Moroccan Football Federation is a signed party to and as a result, the country is disqualified from the tournament; if it holds next year
It was Tuesday when CAF made the declaration that Morocco would not host the tournament, it said that a new host was being sort and that in a matter of days, whichever country that agrees to the 'risks' and 'benefits' of staging the tournament would be announced
Two days since Tuesday, Issa Hayatou has come out to again say that a host would be found in 2-3 days, this in anticipation that it calms the nerves of many who are desperate to know where or whether the tournament would hold after-all
“Do not anticipate! Wait for two or three days. You have waited for a month. The series lasted a month. It is left with three or four days, so do not be in a hurry,” Hayatou told French channel France 24
Where the wagon would swing is yet unknown, however, if speculations are anything to go by, the Nations Cup may be held in Qatar… that surely would change history
Unconfirmed rumours say that Algeria, Gabon, Egypt, Sierra Leone and Qatar seek to replace Morocco, even a joint hosting between four countries is in the news too.
