    Africa Cup of Nations: Caf to reveal hosts in two to three days

    The new hosts for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations will be named in "two or three days", says the Confederation of African Football (Caf).
    Caf president Issa Hayatou revealed the timeframe in a live interview with TV channel France 24 on Tuesday.

    Hayatou added that the tournament dates remained 17 January to 8 February.
    It was announced earlier on Tuesday that original choice Morocco would not host because of its fears over the Ebola outbreak on the continent.
    There has since been speculation that Angola could step in as replacements as they hosted the event in 2010 and have the stadia in place.
    But Angola Football Federation executive committee member Joao Lusevikueno told BBC Sport: "Angola is definitely not hosting the Africa Cup of Nations in 2015.
    "Even though the infrastructure is there - the stadiums, the hotels - you need at least two or three years to prepare the country to host a major tournament like that.
