CAS overturns Morocco's 2017 Nations Cup suspension Morocco can play in the 2017 African Nations Cup
qualifiers after the Court of Arbitration for
Sport (CAS) upheld "in large part" their appeal
against Confederation of African Football (CAF)
sanctions.
"The suspension ... of the next two editions of
the African Nations Cup, in 2017 and 2019, is
annulled, and the fine imposed to the Royal
Federation of Moroccan Football is reduced to
$50,000," CAS said in a statement on Thursday.
CAF had barred Morocco from the 2015 edition,
after the country refused to host the competition
citing Ebola virus fears, and also banned them
from entering the 2017 and 2019 editions while
imposing a fine of $1 million.
