Breaking: CAF announces AFCON 2015 host

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced the host of the 2015 AFCON.

After Morocco declined to host the competition over Ebola fears, CAF has now settled on Equatorial Guinea to host it.

Equatorial Guinea will now take on sole responsibility for holding the 16-team event, despite having only two major stadiums in the capital Malabo and Bata

Equatorial Guinea were initially disqualified from the competition after fielding an ineligible player in the qualifiers, but they will now participate in AFCON 2015 as hosts. 

The competition will run from January 17 to February 8.
