The Africa Cup of Nations, due to be held from January 17 to February 8, will not be postponed because of the Ebola epidemic, an African football official said Monday.
Hosts Morocco had called for the tournament to be pushed back because of fears that an influx of several hundred thousand supporters could spread the virus which has killed more than 4,950 people in West Africa.
But Confederation of African Football media director Junior Binyam said after meeting with Moroccan officials that there would be no postponement and that a second meeting was slated for November 11 in CAF's Cairo headquarters to "take the necessary decisions".
