Ebola: CAF suspends Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches

The Confederation of African Football (CAF), has told the federations of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, to look for alternative venues to player their Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, because of the spread of the deadly Ebola virus in their countries.
“CAF maintains all its fixtures on the continent except in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, where the Ebola disease has registered a high record of infection,” the body said in a statement on Tuesday.
The order will remain in force until the middle of September, when it will be reviewed again after due consultation with health officials in those countries.

According to sources in Freetown, the Sierra Leone FA is currently in talks with Ghanaian officials to play their home matches in Accra.
