Morocco has been expelled from the
2015 African Cup of Nations after 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.
