‘We remain hosts of 2021 Nations Cup’ - Ivory Coast

Image
The Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) insists neither they nor the Ivorian government have been informed by the Confederation of African Football (Caf) of a possible shift in their hosting of the Africa Cup of Nations in 2021. The Ivorian Federation reacted to an interview Caf president Ahmad gave to Afrique Media TV on Monday when Ahmad said that Cameroon -  stripped of the 2019 hosting rights -  would replace Ivory Coast as hosts in 2021 and the latter would instead stage the 2023 tournament. "We made this decision to shift, because we saw that Ivory Coast also is not ready for 2021. To do things in a more humane way, in 2021, the Cameroonians will be ready. "And in 2023, we will organise the tournament in Ivory Coast. This is the decision taken by the Caf Executive Committee on November 30, 2018 in Accra," Ahmad said. A letter from Ahmad to the Cameroon President Paul Biya dated 30 November 2018, seen by BBC Sport, has also surfaced in Cameroon where Ahmad ...

Africa Cup of Nations: Sierra Leone disqualified from 2019 qualifiers

Image
Sierra Leone have been disqualified from the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign because of government interference in the country's football association. It means Kenya and Ghana qualify for next year's Nations Cup finals from Group F. Sierra Leone were suspended from all football by Fifa  in October and an investigation was launched. They have not played any qualifying matches since that ban. The ban was imposed after the country's anti-corruption commission (ACC) barred Sierra Leone Football Association president Isha Johansen and general secretary Christopher Kamara from the governing body's offices. Both deny any wrongdoing. The Confederation of African Football (Caf), which made the decision on Friday, confirmed in a statement on Monday that all  Sierra Leone's matches during the qualifying campaign are now "annulled." With one match remaining in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, Kenya are top of Group F on ...

Qualified teams continue Nations Cup preparation with friendlies

Image
Five of the countries who have already booked their places at the Africa Cup of Nations finals will continue preparations for next year's tournament with friendly internationals on Tuesday. The weekend's penultimate round of qualifiers for Cameroon 2019 might be out of the way but the hosts along with Morocco, Nigeria, Tunisia and Uganda are all using the international window to fit in another fixture. Cameroon have a glamour game at Milton Keynes where they take on Brazil. The reigning African champions will be looking to make a big statement ahead of hosting the Nations Cup, but they will be underdogs against the five time World Cup winners after failing to impress since Clarence Seedorf took over as coach. Cameroon suffered a 2-0 loss away against Morocco in Casablanca  on Friday and have won one of four matches since the arrival of the former Dutch international. Morroco also play on Tuesday, against fellow north Africans Tunisia at the Rades Stadium on the out...
