◎顧佳欣
Morocco was thrown out of the 2015 African Cup of Nations and stripped of its hosting rights Tuesday after refusing to commit to the scheduled dates early next year because of fears over Ebola.
摩洛哥因擔憂伊波拉疫情，拒絕承諾明年初的賽程日期，週二遭2015年非洲國家杯剔除，並被剝奪主辦權。
The Confederation of African Football（CAF）said in a statement that the applications from possible replacement hosts were now "under review.’’ CAF repeatedly refused Morocco’s request to postpone the African Cup until 2016 because of fears over the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.
非洲足球協會在聲明中說，正在檢視可能的替代主辦國申請書。摩洛哥因擔憂致命的伊波拉病毒散播，要求非洲杯推遲至2016年舉行，一再遭非洲足協拒絕。
The body’s decision-making executive committee also decided "that the national team of Morocco is automatically disqualified’’ because of its "refusal’’ to host.
非洲足協的決策執行委員會也決定因其「拒絕」主辦，「摩洛哥國家隊自動喪失資格」。
Morocco wanted the tournament postponed for a year because it feared the possible spread of Ebola through tens of thousands of football supporters traveling for the three-week African Cup. It said over the weekend it wouldn’t stand down over its position, prompting CAF to take the tournament elsewhere.
摩洛哥希望比賽推遲一年，因其害怕伊波拉可能會透過好幾萬為了三週的非洲杯賽事前來的球迷而擴散。摩洛哥在週末表示，立場不會改變，促請非洲足協改到他處舉辦比賽。
