The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced, that Morocco is fined and banned from the next two Africa Cup of Nations after withdrawing as this year's hosts.
Morocco had been scheduled to host the 2015 tournament but withdrew after the CAF rejected their request to postpone the tournament due to Ebola fears, with Equatorial Guinea stepping into the void despite having been initially disqualified in the qualification phase for fielding an ineligible player.
CAF's judgement has been passed, and the Royal Moroccan Football Federation has been fined $1 million and are seeking $9 million in damages for their withdrawal as hosts, while banning them from competing in 2017 and 2019.

This are the outcome we expect to see from such behaviours.Africans are just poving theselves to be what the pre-colonial masters had in their mind before coming to clolonise Africa.It is so sad that Africans are becoming worst than animals in their behaviours toward a unifying African factor-Soccer
Better safe than sorry. I see with Morocco trying to protect their players and citizens in general from the deadly ebola. It is no fun to risk such. Postponement would have been better at the time coz there was the risk of contaminating and being contaminated. With the ebola virus. In my humble opinion they did the right thing not wanting to risk it.
