Ghana's Sports Minster Mahama Ayariga has confirmed CAF’s letter asking the country to consider hosting next year’s Africa Cup of Nations if Morocco withdraws.
The continent’s football governing body has written to some countries as a back-up plan should the north African country pull out.
Morocco is reported said to be having doubts about hosting the continent’s flagship event because of the deadly Ebola disease.
Ghana have bid to host the tournament in 2017 but competing with five other countries.
“Caf wrote to us a few days ago actually and indicated that Morocco had given strong indications that they will pull out if Caf did not change the date,†Ayariga told Citi FM.
“And Caf also indicated that it was firm on those dates but they will meet the Moroccan authorities and take a decision at that meeting.
“But in the meantime they are writing to a number of countries that they think have the capacity to be an alternative venue…in the event of Morocco actually pulling out.â€
