🇩🇿 If Cameroon isn't hosting #AFCON2019, why not let Algeria host? Baraki, Tizi Ouzou and Oran Stadiums are almost done and should be ready by next summer, and we have plenty of other stadiums, it would be a big boost for a football-mad country #TeamDZ #CAN2019 pic.twitter.com/UAWzEl0q34— Walid Bylka (@bylka613_) November 30, 2018

Six months to #AFCON2019 and CAF announces that Cameroon will not host it!! sigh!— Dashing Enock (@dashingmule) November 30, 2018
The only country that can prepare and host the tournament with ease is south Africa. These guys hosted confederation and World cup!!! Their standard next to no other African country.
CONFIRMED: CAF President Ahmad has announced that Cameroon 🇨🇲 will NOT host #AFCON2019! 😮 pic.twitter.com/JfIlPgGQcm— Usher Komugisha (@UsherKomugisha) November 30, 2018
An over 8-hr CAF exco meeting sees Cameroon stripped off hosting #AFCON2019.— Janine Anthony (@Chiquadiva) November 30, 2018
Long decision with grim faces in the end.
Reports indicts the host nation on poor preparation amid political and security tensions.

Stripping Cameroon of the right to host #AFCON2019 is an indictment in itself of the Biya regime. It once more is glaring that this government has failed Cameroonians. Where are those Sardinas who voted for him? Help him wipe the she off his face. Well done CAF! You have improved— Emmanuel Achiri (@liquids25) November 30, 2018

For hours, folks debated & doubted if it is true. Corrupt institutions always delay Public Decisions to create doubts. When the media is silent, then corrupt Officials Win.Spread the news about #afcon2019 Fiasco b4 they steal UR VICTORY pic.twitter.com/G39eOYQa0A
To be fair bare 3/4 countries (Misri,South Africa,Morocco,Algeria) the rest of African countries can't single-handedly host 24-team AFCONs..Opening the door for joint-bids in the future (Cheaper etc) ? God knows. #AFCON2019— Lotfi Wada (@LotfiWada) November 30, 2018
Morocco 🇲🇦 are frontline favourites if they bid to host Africa’s most prestigious football tournament by December 31. #AFCON2019 pic.twitter.com/rz1KZ7Tc2o— Usher Komugisha (@UsherKomugisha) November 30, 2018
#CAF's decision to take #AFCON2019 away from Cameroon has been meet with mixed feelings.— Moses Ngwanah (@mosesngwanah) November 30, 2018
Some people are very sad (Sardinard);
Others happy (Tontinards);
And some very very happy (Southern Cameroonians).
You can see how divided the country is.
As they have collected the #AFCON2019 hosting from Cameroon, will they still get automatic ticket to participate in the competition next year if they loose their last game against Comoros.— Enugu First Lady (@EnuguFirstLady) November 30, 2018
And please can @thenff bid for hosting rights, I don't have money to waste in hotel&flight

Ghana can we then bid for the #AFCON2019 hosting rights?— Benedict Owusu (@KwesiBenedict) November 30, 2018
CAF have denied stripping Cameroon of the 2019 Africa cup of nations hosting rights. An exco meeting is ongoing and VP Amaju Pinnick confirms a decision will be announced soon. #Afcon2019— Juliet Mafua (@julietmafua) November 30, 2018
If indeed Cameroon is stripped of hosting rights for #AFCON2019 then CAF has to make sure they find a host that will not be having a rainy season in June-July, from the onset June-July was never a solution, the solution was a 4 year cycle.— African Soccer Updates (@Africansoccerup) November 30, 2018
Our National football Team @HarambeeStars_ have qualified for the #AFCON2019 .This championship has eluded us for the past 15 years ,I thank our boys for putting up a spirited fight against all the teams in their pool to see them qualify to represent Kenya for the #AFCON2019 pic.twitter.com/D6csVtnlV4— Rashid Echesa (@CSRashidEchesa) November 30, 2018

Cameroon stripped of hosting #AFCON2019. Africa is full of surprises.— i don't have a Goat (@MogauMosibudi) November 30, 2018
Cameroon lost rights to host AFCON 2019.— NikiSelah (@nikiselah) November 30, 2018
It'll be hosted in Morocco, I'm sure about that, and Cameroon will surprise you people if it's still going to play.
I feel sorry for the people of Cameroon 🇨🇲. Stripping them of the hosting rights is not the best decision... I hope it doesn't affect African football. A joint hosting would have been better. #OneAfrica #Cameroon2019 🇨🇲— Taiye Taiwo (@tayo_taiwo) November 30, 2018
Since Cameroon will nolonger host the 2019 AFCON I feel it's time the tournament is taken to East Africa.— Namuchana (@Namuchana3) November 30, 2018
CAF expanded African Cup of Nations from 16 Nation format to 24 Nations format. If anyone is to take blame for "non preparedness" of Cameroon to host the Tournament, CAF have a lion share of blame to take.— QUINTESSENTIAL (@adekanye52) November 30, 2018

In October, a US congress member wrote to @FIFAcom president to express concerns over #Cameroon hosting the #AFCON2019 in the wake of ongoing violence up North & the #AnglophoneCrisis— Kathleen Ndongmo (@KathleenNdongmo) November 29, 2018

CAF decides tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/xyHEPkiOla
Why can't we just get simple things right in Africa?— Dennis O. Adesanoye (@stdennis02) November 30, 2018
CAF has always been stripping nations of AFCON hosting rights with months to go:
2000: Zimbabwe ✒ Ghana/Nigeria
2013: Libya ✒ South Africa
2015: Morocco ✒ Eq Guinea
2017: Libya ✒ Gabon#AFCON2019 : Cameroon ✒ ❔❔ pic.twitter.com/sNIXinsJsl
Cameroon must finish the monumental task it started and invested in for the AFCON 2019, EVEN IF STRIPPED and must use this opportunity to rebuild its sporting and tourism infrastructure and by so doing give a chance to its youth of a better tomorrow. #Cameroon, #AFCON2019— Albert.Ngwana (@BEBAKING) November 30, 2018
My understanding is that the fate of Cameroon's Afcon will be confirmed by CAF at 16h, with the executive committee currently meeting behind closed doors.— Ed Dove (@EddyDove) November 30, 2018
Bitterly disappointing for people of CMR if tournament taken from them, and major questions must be asked of CAF. #CAN
