Confederation of African Football president Issa Hayatou expects a new host for the Africa Cup of Nations to be confirmed before the end of the week.
CAF confirmed on Tuesday that Morocco would no longer host AFCON next year, following a stand-off with the Federation Royale Marocaine de Football over concerns surrounding the Ebola virus.
With CAF vehemently opposed to switching the dates and the FRMF eager to move the competition, it was also confirmed that Morocco will not feature in the tournament.
Hayatou explained on Tuesday that a new host is set to be confirmed this week while also defending the decision to strip Morocco of the competition.
Hayatou also went on to express his disappointment at the situation, stating that Morocco’s planned hosting of the FIFA Club World Cup in December demonstrates their ability to host AFCON as well. ...Punch
