Equatorial Guinea is named as the host of AFCON 2015.

The Confederation of African Football has named Equatorial Guinea as the hosts for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

CAF selected a replacement for Morocco after rejecting Morocco's request to delay the tournament due to the concern over the spread of the Ebola virus.

Morocco was subsequently expelled from the tournament, which will now be held in Equatorial Guinea. Equatorial Guinea previously co-hosted the tournament with Gabon in 2012.

CAF said the decision was made after a meeting in Malabo on Friday between Equatorial Guinea's president Teodoro Obiang and CAF president Issa Hayatou.

Hayatou said in a statement:  "The head of state of Equatorial Guinea agreed to host the competition.
As a result, the CAF executive committee confirms that the tournament will go ahead and Equatorial Guinea will compete as the host nation. CAF wishes to express its sincere thanks to the Equatorial Guinean people, its government and particularly president Obiang."
