Morocco have failed to meet the deadline to confirm it will host the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in January.

The North Africans had requested a postponement because of fears over the Ebola outbreak.

The Confederation of African Football (Caf) refused the request and set a deadline of 8 November for Morocco to confirm they would host the tournament.

The deadline was also given to any countries who may want to step in as replacement hosts.

A statement from Morocco’s sports ministry said: “The decision is dictated by health reasons because of the serious threat of Ebola and the risk of its spreading.”

A judgement on the future of the 2015 tournament is set to be made on 11 November when Caf has an executive committee meeting in Cairo.
