Morocco the nation that was slated initially to hold the event was disqualified, because the country wanted Confederation of African Football (CAF), to move the tournament to 2016 as a result of the fear of the ebola virus in West Africa.
CAF refused to change the date of the event, and gave them an automatum to decide by Saturday, whether they will host the event or not. So Morocco decided that they will not host the event next January.

CAF disqualified them from participating, because as host they were not involved in the qualification series, because they had automatic qualification as host. So since they are not hosting the event anymore, it was withrawn.
Anyway, CAF announced on Tuesday, that there were three countries ready to host the event, and that they will make the decision on which country will be given the right to host the tournament in 2 or 3 days time.
After this weekend matches, the last of the qualification series will be played on Wednesday, the 19th of November.
