The Ebola virus outbreak continues to heavily impact West African countries. Due to the ongoing health crisis, CAF has extended the ban preventing Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia from hosting home matches. This ban was initially enforced because of the virus’s severity in these countries.
-
Guinea played its “home” match against Togo in Morocco.
-
Sierra Leone relocated its home match to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The virus has tragically claimed 2,630 lives in the region so far. This health emergency is clearly affecting football logistics and the normal course of competitions in these nations.
Would you like updates on how this affects upcoming fixtures or other related impacts on African football?
