Morocco bags two year ban plus fine for refusing to host Afcon 2015

Reports have it that Confederation of African Football CAF has slammed Morocco with two year ban from the next two Africa Cup of Nations as punishment for refusing to host the 2015.

"We are going to stick to the rules, that means elimination from the next two Nations Cups," Hayatou told France's L'Equipe sports daily.

"On top of that there will be the financial and moral damages to calculate."

Morocco are facing a $20 million fine for refusing to host the 2015 Cup in its scheduled 17 January - 8 February 8 slot over fears of the spread of the deadly Ebola epidemic to the popular tourist destination, Morocco's Le Matin newspaper suggested this week.

However, Equatorial Guinea have volunteered to host the prestigious African Football festival come next year.
