Equatorial Guinea to host AFCON 2015


The Confederation of African Football says Equatorial Guinea has been chosen to host the 2015 African Cup of Nations in place of Morocco.

CAF says the dates for the tournament will remain the same - the 17th of January to the 8th of February after Morocco was dumped as host for demanding a postponement over Ebola fears.

Equatorial Guinea co-hosted the African Cup in 2012 with Gabon.

Four cities will be used for the tournament: Malabo, Bata, Mongomo and Ebebiyin.

CAF added that Equatorial Guinea's team will be allowed to take part as the host nation after the Moroccan team was also stripped of that right.

Bafana Bafana will book their ticket to Equatorial Guinea if they beat Sudan in their penultimate Afcon qualifier in Durban on Saturday afternoon.
