Original hosts Morocco barred from 2015 Africa Cup of Nations


CAF, and its president Issa Hayatou, have banned original 2015 Africa Cup of Nations host Morocco from January's finals.
(CNN) -- Morocco should be just two months away from hosting Africa's biggest sporting event. Instead, the country has been barred from taking part in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

National coach Badu Zaki should be fine tuning preparations for his team, perhaps hopeful of success given that over a third of Nations Cup hosts have won the tournament.

Now his team isn't even allowed to compete.

That was the punishment meted out by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) on Tuesday, after Moroccan officials refused to host the Nations Cup in January because they fear the spread of Ebola.
