The 2015 African Cup Of Nations
The 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, also known as the Orange Africa Cup of Nations Equatorial Guinea 2015 for sponsorship reasons, is scheduled to be the 30th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations, the international footballchampionship of Africa. It is organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and held from 17 January to 8 February 2015.
The tournament was initially scheduled to be hosted by Morocco, who previously hosted it in 1988, but Morocco refused to host the tournament at the scheduled dates because of the Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa.[3] The host country was later changed to Equatorial Guinea.
