The Confederation of African football, CAF, has announced the cancelation of the 2021 Under-17 AFCON tournament that was scheduled for this March in Morocco.
The decision was made this Monday after an emergency meeting which held in Morocco studied the present Corona Virus situation in the North African nation and opted to abandon the tournament with immediate effect.
The men’s Under-17 AFCON tournament joins a number of International sports events that have been called off since the outbreak of the novel Coronavirus pandemic.
Before the decision was made, five of the 12 participating nations were already in Morocco.
Zambia, Uganda, Senegal, Ivory Coast are forced to return home while hoping to be compensated or reimbursed for the expenses made so far.
The Golden Eaglets of Nigeria were scheduled to depart Nigeria for Morocco on Tuesday before the cancellation of the tournament by CAF.
