Sierra Leone to host soccer matches again after Ebola
Xinhua, December 7, 2015 Adjust font size:
The African Football Confederation (CAF) on Monday lifted the ban which prohibited Sierra Leone to host football matches because of the Ebola infection.
"International football matches and CAF competitions can again be organized in the West African country, something which was not possible since August 2014 when CAF, upon the recommendations of the WHO, suspended football matches in countries affected by the epidemic Ebola virus, namely Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone," CAF said in a statement Monday.
It was reported that Ebola in Sierra Leone had killed almost 4,000 people before the country was declared free of transmission last month.
CAF had approved Liberia for re-host matches in July. Endi
