The widespread of the deadly virus around the world has made Caf suspend the upcoming international fixtures
The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has postponed this month's 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches indefinitely because of the coronavirus.
The continent's football governing body made the decision on Friday in order to protect the health and safety of stakeholders including players, sponsors, match officials and broadcasters.
The games were initially fixed to take place between March 25 and March 31 across various countries in the continent.
The postponement comes in the wake of the declaration of Covid-19 as a pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and following strict travel restrictions by some African countries to contain the spread of the virus.
