Morocco competes with Nigeria, Ghana in bid for 2000 African nations cup

Morocco is competing with Nigeria and Ghana to host the 2000 African Nations Cup of Football that the African Football Confederation (CAF) withdrew from Zimbabwe.

The African football ruling body will give on Monday its verdict on the competition that has become tougher with the Nigerian candidacy, forwarded in the last minutes of the deadline set on March 10.

Zimbabwe was stripped of the event last month for failing to meet stadium and financial targets. But it won a second hearing following talks with CAF president Issa Hayatou.
