Breaking: A top source in #Guinean football says the country's government will not allow them travel to #Uganda, to play in a @CAF_Online U-23 qualifier there, as a result of the #EbolaOutbreakUG. (Will add more details shortly, to make a thread...)
"We have asked @CAF_Online about the concerns of the health services of our country, for our match in #Uganda. Our government strongly advises us not to go to #Kampala, at the end of the month, for the match. We have unofficially informed CAF of the situation...
"@CAF_Online replied that to date, the @WHO has not made a decision on #Uganda (concerning safety of travel there) and that its matches will be played. How this will be resolved I don't know, because our government is not joking on this matter," the top source said.
