Morocco will replace Kenya as hosts of the 2018 African Nations Championship (CHAN), organisers announced on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Kenya lost the rights to stage the 2018 African Nations Championship for failing to meet Caf’s requirements.<\/p>\n

The Confederation of African Football (Caf) unanimously decided to give Morocco the tournament ahead of Equatorial Guinea.<\/p>\n

They replace Kenya, who had their rights to host withdrawn by Caf due to a lack of preparation.<\/p>\n

The tournament for locally-based players is scheduled to take place in January 2018.<\/p>\n

The decision to move the competition was made at an emergency Caf executive committee meeting in Lagos, Nigeria.<\/p>\n
