Morocco will be barred from the next two Africa
Cup of Nations as punishment for refusing to
host the 2015 edition in January-February,
Confederation of African Football president Issa
Hayatou said on Saturday.
“We are going to stick to the rules, that means
elimination from the next two Nations Cups,”
Hayatou told France’s L’Equipe sports daily.
“On top of that there will be the financial and
moral damages to calculate.”
Morocco are facing a US$20 million (about
N3.4b) fine for refusing to host the 2015 Cup in
its scheduled January 17-February 8 slot over
fears of the spread of the deadly Ebola epidemic.
