Ebola Scare: Enyeama wants CAF to cancel AFCON 2015

            

 Super Eagles captain Vincent Enyeama hopes the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations is cancelled to help stop the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.

Hosts Morocco have asked the Confederation of African Football to postpone the 17 January to 8 February event but the organisers have refused.
Enyeama said: “I really hope it doesn’t happen. It is risky, in Africa everyone is hugging you and shaking your hand.
“But if CAF says it will happen I will play – if Nigeria qualify.”
Moroccan officials are set to meet with CAF on 3 November to discuss their request to postpone the tournament.
The Ebola virus has already claimed more than 4,500 lives since the outbreak in west Africa in March.
CAF has already approached South Africa, Ghana and up to five other countries about hosting the event should Morocco withdraw.
CAF officials are scheduled to meet in Algiers on 2 November to discuss the situation regarding the tournament, which has never been postponed since its inaugural edition in 1957.
