Liberian President, George Weah, has come out in full support of Morocco’s bid to host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations after the hosting rights were withdrawn from Guinea over its lack of preparations.
President Weah stated his position while reacting to ”false and misleading, reports making rounds in some international media outlets” that he was supporting the bid by Algeria to host the same tournament.
He expressed his “fullest and strong” support for the Moroccan bid instead, which he has further emphasized to the Moroccan government. “Liberia fully endorses and supports Morocco’s bid to host CAF Nations Cup 2025. I have made this commitment to King Mohamed VI. It is cast in stone” he said in a statement seen by APA on Friday.
Weah cited what he called the remarkable investments Morocco continues to put towards the development of football, which makes them deserve a chance to host the biggest African football fiesta.
