The Ivorian Football Federation (IFF) have revealed that they are studying all options to relocate their September 6th African Cup of Nations 2015 qualifier against Sierra Leone to another venue following their governments decision to suspend all competitive sport at the international level due to the Ebola virus rampaging across West Africa currently.
Côte d'Ivoire are expected to face Sierra Leone on September 6th in Abidjan in their first Group D match of the 2015 African Nations Cup qualifiers but the current government decision has left the IFF authorities to find a location other than in their home country.
In a press conference was hosted at the IFF secretariat last Thursday, the football governing body told journalist that they are studying "all possibilities" and "continues to work" with CAF on the possible relocation of the match.
