That will be just over six months before the African Cup kicks off. Morocco is a possible replacement host for the tournament in June and July if Cameroon, which was chosen in 2014, is dropped. Two cities due to host African Cup games, Limbe and Bafoussam, are deep in those regions where the fighting is. Libya again withdrew as host two years ago, sending the African Cup back to Gabon for the second time in five years. Held every two years, the African Cup in Ivory Coast in 2021 is also already a cause for concern, CAF said Saturday.
