A statement from the African
football’s governing body said that “international football matches and CAF
competitions can again be organised in the West African country”. Something which was not possible since August 2014 when CAF upon the
recommendations of the World Health Organization suspended football matches in
countries affected by the Ebola virus epidermic.
However, the clearance came
too late for Sierra Leone’s World Cup hopes after they were eliminated from the
2018 qualifiers in October.

It would be recalled that the
outbreak killed 11,300 people mainly in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone since
it began in 2013.
