Many of us enjoy football for several reasons ;to keep fit, make a living and mostly have fun watching others (professionals) play. Watching football at a stadium or with family and friends at home on TV is fun, to say the least. There are thousands if not millions of football competitions globally but for the purposes of this article, we'll be talking mainly of the biggest football competition on the African continent- The African Cup of Nations.

"The Africa Cup of Nations, officially CAN (French: Coupe d'Afrique des Nations), also referred to as African Cup of Nations, African Nations Cup, or AFCON, is the main international association football competition in Africa. It is sanctioned by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), and was first held in 1957. Since 1968, it has been held every two years. The title holders at the time of a FIFA Confederations Cup qualify for that competition." Wikipedia.

The next edition of the CAN is scheduled to be the 30th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations, the football championship of Africa (CAF), held from 17 January to 8 February 2015.For the second time, the tournament is scheduled to be hosted by Morocco, who previously hosted it in 1988.
With the outbreak of Ebola on the continent, the proposed hosts Morocco, fears and doubts hosting of the competition.

"CAF wrote to us and indicated that Morocco had given strong indications they would pull out if CAF did not change the date," Ghana Youth and Sports minister Mahama Ayariga said.

'' Is it advisable to play the next edition of the CAN considering the worst outbreak of Ebola in history?''

'' Will CAF still organise CAN prioritizing the monetary loss over the potential spread of Ebola?''
''Should I go to Morocco come January 2015 to watch CAN, when it happens?''
