Nigeria is among other countries interested in hosting the Africa Cup of Nations in 2015 having been cleared of the Ebola Virus Disease by World Health Organization on Monday.
Goal.com reports that the first Vice President of the NFF, Seyi Akinwunmi dropped the hint shortly after the country was cleared of the EVD after several reports have suggested hat the supposed host nation Morocco may pull out due to the fear of the deadly virus.
Akinwunmi noted that the chance of hosting the continental event is possible, ''I think we are interested [in hosting the Afcon],'' he told Goal on Monday.
''It is not strictly the purview of the NFF alone but we have been asked [if we can host the competition] and we have said yes, why not?
''I think that the National Sports Commission or the Federal Government is looking at the possibility of hosting the tournament.''
