over fears of the spread of the Ebola virus.
The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has also been fined $1m and ordered to pay $9.12m in damages to the Confederation of African Football and their partners, CAF said in a statement.
CAF’s executive committee rejected claims of force majeure from the FRMF and found the federation financially liable for the decision to withdraw from hosting the finals.
