Morocco has been chosen to host the 2018 Championship of African Nations (CHAN).
The decision was arrived at Saturday during the Confederations of African Football Executive Committee meeting in Lagos, Nigeria.
Four cities namely Agadir, Casablanca, Marrakech and Tangier have been chosen by the Morocco FA as the host cities.
The tournament will run from 12th January to 4th February 2018.
Equatorial Guinea and Ethiopia were also in contention for the rights to stage the continental event which was initially scheduled for Kenya.
Kenya was stripped off the rights on 23rd September for lack of preparedness.
Morocco will be hosting the biennial event for the first time.
Rwanda successfully hosted the last edition won by the DR Congo in 2016.
With a new host, Egypt who were eliminated by Morocco in the 2018 qualifiers will take Kenya’s slot.
