Ivory Coast International Superstar Yaya Toure, receiving the AFCON Trophy from His Excellency the
President of Equatorial Guinea; Teodoro Obiang Nguema
Lessons
The first and main lesson learnt from the
2015 Afcon is that the fear of Ebola
couldn’t stop the organisation of the
tournament as it was almost intended to
be. No Ebola contamination was
announced during the almost a month of
get-together of thousands of people. It is
the victory of football over phobia.
Secondly, the solidarity and promptness
of Equatorial Guinea that saved the 2015
Afcon from being abandoned or moved to
a far country. Equatorial Guinean
president Teodoro Obiang Nguema and
his people, who did not contest his
decision to host the tournament for fear of
the spread of Ebola, are to be
commended.
