CAF said it was in contact with WHO and authorities in the countries affected. The CAF confirmed that Sierra Leone, where over 300 people have died in the outbreak, can't host games.

Sierra Leone's government banned all football there until further notice. Sierra Leone wants to play its 'home' matches against Cote d'Ivoire, Cameroon and Congo in Accra, Ghana, CAF said.

Ghana hasn't yet confirmed if it'll allow that to happen. Some countries don't want to allow people from Ebola-affected countries to enter.

Sierra Leone Football Association spokesman Abu Bakarr Kamara told the AP that it would get WHO emergency health certificates for home-based players to show they had not contracted Ebola.

Unlike Sierra Leone, Guinea, the suspected source of the Ebola outbreak, says it still wants to play host to matches.

Guinea is the only one of the four countries not to have declared a public health emergency despite the deaths of 373 people there - the most of all the countries.

Opponents say they don't want to travel to Guinea.

"We are scared by the situation prevailing in that zone," the Togo Football Federation said.

Guinea's football federation said on Tuesday that it had been instructed by CAF to move its home game against Togo, although it said it hasn't chosen a venue.

The move by the Seychelles government last month to block Sierra Leone's squad set a possible precedent for countries to refuse to host the Sierra Leone and Guinea teams. The bans could spread to Nigeria if Ebola spreads rapidly there.

The nine countries set to host teams from Ebola-hit areas haven't yet said they'll refuse to let players and officials into their country. If they banned players from the four nations, it would throw the Africa Cup into complete chaos.

The CAF doesn't want to wait, and says it will announce later this week details of a plan to keep the qualifiers going.
