Ebola Scare: Cancel AFCON, Enyeama Advices CAF

Super Eagles captain Vincent Enyeama hopes the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations is cancelled to help stop the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.

Enyeama Vincent. Hosts Morocco have asked the Confederation of African Football to postpone the 17 January to 8 February event but the organisers have refused.

Enyeama said: “I really hope it doesn’t happen. It is risky, in Africa everyone is hugging you and shaking your hand. “But if Caf says it will happen I will play – if Nigeria qualify.”

Moroccan officials are set to meet with Caf on 3 November to discuss their request to postpone the tournament.

The Ebola virus has already claimed more than 4,500 lives since the outbreak in west Africa in March. Caf has already approached South Africa, Ghana and up to five other countries about hosting the event should Morocco withdraw.

Caf officials are scheduled to meet in Algiers on 2 November to discuss the situation regarding the tournament, which has never been postponed since its inaugural edition in 1957.




My Take - Uncle Enyeama, please Ebola is no more only available in Africa, its now in Europe & America. In as much as European leagues and America's Basket Ball leagues are not stopped, let us also enjoy African football come January 2015.
