DOHA: Qatar Football Association (QFA) has not been asked by any stakeholder to host the 2015 African Nations Cup, it was confirmed on Thursday. QFA President Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Bin Ahmed Al Thani on Thursday said Qatar was not requested to step in after the event was moved from Morocco on Ebola fears. Sheikh Hamad said Qatar had previously staged the 1995 FIFA World Cup for Under-20 players when the event was moved from ‎Nigeria which was reeling from cholera. Sheikh Hamad said QFA would be honoured to provide assistance for the promotion of football.
