Rabat – The Moroccan government calls on the African Football Federation to postpone the celebration of the 2015 African Cup of Nations, which is scheduled to be held in Morocco from January 17 to February 7th.

In a communiqué released Friday by the Moroccan Ministry of Youth and Sport, the request was made after the Moroccan Ministry of Health stressed the need to avoid sports events that include the participation of people coming from countries affected by Ebola.

The communiqué added that a Moroccan delegation will meet next week with representatives from the African Football Federation to discuss the viability of this request.
