CAF Names Equitorial Guinea as New Host of AFCON 2015

The Confederation of African Football has announced Equatorial Guinea as the new host of the Africa Cup of Nations 2015 following the decision of the football body to drop Morocco 3 days ago. 

CAF dropped Morocco from hosting the football tournament on Tuesday November 11th following the nations request for postponement of the tournament in their country over Ebola fears.

A statement released by CAF this afternoon says the dates for the tournament will remain from Jan. 17-February 8 2015 and that four cities will be used for the tournament: Malabo, Bata, Mongomo and Ebebiyin.
