CAF: Yaya Toure expresses disappointment in Morocco


Yaya Toure expresses disappointment in Morocco's refusal to stage the 2015 African Nations Cup.

The Moroccan authorities announced their unwillingness to host the upcoming tournament over Ebola fears. They had previously asked for the tournament to be postponed but their request was rejected.

The Ivorian said: "The health reasons given are not valid. The Nations Cup is the summit of football in Africa. Morocco has not taken into account the disappointment of Africans".

The Manchester City midfielder believes that CAF would find a solution to the issue soon.
