Contrary to expectations .. Morocco will not organize the nations of Africa 2019

Moroccan Minister of Youth and Sports Rachid Talbi announced today that his country will not submit a file to host the African Cup of Nations next year.

The African Football Confederation (CA) decided to withdraw the tournament from Cameroon because of the country's lack of readiness to host this important event and the delay in the completion of stadiums and facilities for the competition.

Morocco was expected to be the first candidate to host the tournament, but Morocco's sports minister has broken all expectations.

"Morocco will not submit its candidacy for the tournament in June," the minister was quoted by state television as saying.

The African Football Confederation announced that it had closed its bid to host the tournament on December 14.
