Ghana is considering hosting the AFCON in 2015 after a request from the Confederation of African football.

The minister of youth and Sports,Hon.Mahama Ayariga has confirmed to AllSports.com.gh that with Morocco's reluctance to go forward with it's plan to host the tournament scheduled for January over the current scare over Ebola,CAF has appealed to the government of Ghana to step in as an alternate host.

"We have received the letter from the Ghana Football Association and we have discussed our options.Our biggest problem will come from the health implications and we are also going to speak to the health ministry about this" he said.

Allsports.com.gh also understands that the Ghana Football Association is favourable to the offer and is already in consultation with government to discuss the viability of hosting the 16 team tournament with barely four months left to it's start.

A primary budget discussion has already being held between the Ghana Football Association and the Sports Ministry with an initial estimate of around $12million.
