Morocco has won its appeal against the ban from the 2017 and 2019 Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.

The court of Arbitration for Sport has overturned the ruling made by the Confederation of African Football after Morocco did not host the tournament's 2015 finals.

It also reduced the fine imposed on Morocco's football association from 1 million dollars to 50,000 US dollars.

Morocco wanted to postpone the tournament because of the outbreak of Ebola in Africa but their request was rejected by the Confederation of African Football who as well as moving the event to Equitorial Guinea, expelled the team from taking part.
