Script:

Equatorial Guinea have been named as the hosts for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations by the Confederation of African Football.

Caf selected a replacement for Morocco after rejecting their request to delay the 17th of January to the 8th of February finals.

Morocco were concerned over the spread of the outbreak of the Ebola virus.

Caf subsequently expelled Morocco from the relocated tournament, which will now be held in the country which co-hosted with Gabon in 2012.

Equatorial Guinea will now take on sole responsibility for holding the 16-team event.

African football's governing body also announced that Equatorial Guinea will play in the tournament despite the team being disqualified in July for fielding an ineligible player in a preliminary qualifier against Mauritania on the 17th of May.

The draw for the finals will be in Malabo on the 3rd of December.
