The African soccer
confederation says it has ended a ban on Guinea hosting international matches
after the country was declared free of Ebola. Health concerns forced
Guinea to play its first home qualifying match for the 2018 World Cup in
Morocco.
CAF
wrote to Guinea's soccer federation on Monday lifting a ban which was imposed
in August 2014 and applied to national and club teams. CAF says it acted after the
World Health Organization confirmed last week that Guinea was clear of the
Ebola virus.
Last
November, Guinea beat Namibia 2-0 in Casablanca to advance 3-0 on aggregate to
the final group stage in African qualifying.
Guinea resumes qualifying
in October in one of five four-team groups which are scheduled to be drawn in
June.
