And now for the big question
There were an average of 15,000
attendance across the 32 matches at the
2015 Afcon, was there any case of Ebola
contamination?
I was in the central African country
throughout the 21-day competition and
visited all four host cities more than once.
No Ebola anywhere, according to the
country’s health authorities.
The excitement, expectations,
entertainment and involvement quickly
squashed the fear of Ebola and liberated
footballer lovers from the yoke of
discrimination and distrust to celebrate the
continent’s most cherished sport.
As health workers keep fighting to contain
the spread of Ebola, and as
pharmaceutical companies round off trial
tests for drugs and vaccines against Ebola,
football has done its best to defeat those
who want to scare us away from being
together like ever.
