Although Setif drew 1-1 against DR Congo's AS Vita in their second leg match held at the Mustapha Tchaker Stadium in Blida, they still won the African club title on away goals after a 3-3 aggregate. Six days earlier the teams drew 2-2 in the opening game in Kinshasa. Setif thus became the first Algerian club since 1990 to win the continent's most prestigious football crown. The Black Eagles had to wait 26 years to return to the podium after their last triumph in 1988, when the competition was called the African Cup of Champion Clubs. Setif have now become one of four clubs to win the tournament twice, the others being JS Kabylie (Algeria), Asante Kotoko (Ghana), Esperance (Tunisia) and Enyimba (Nigeria). On Sunday, the stadium in Blida was filled with spectators who painted the stadium with Setif's colours of black and white, and that of the Algerian flag. With the title came prize money of $1.5 million as well as the ticket to represent Africa at the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup to be held in Morocco in December. While Morocco will host the World Club for clubs, the other championship it will soon host, the Africa Nations Cup, is up in the air. At its meeting held on 2 November in Algiers, the Executive Committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) refused a request by the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Morocco to postpone the 2015 Orange Africa Cup of Nations due to fears of Ebola. CAF gave Morocco until Saturday to make its final decision. The outcome will be announced on Tuesday 11 November during an Executive Committee meeting in Cairo, Egypt. The time allotted to Morocco to take a decision is also being granted to all other CAF national associations wishing to host the ACN on the dates agreed and as long as the hosting requirements are met. CAF reiterated it will not move the finals from 17 January to 8 February. It said it had already banned any football matches to be played in the most Ebola-infected countries including Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, Secondly, of the three countries where the virus has become epidemic, it's only Guinea that has a chance of qualifying to 2015. Thirdly, CAF said Morocco will host the FIFA Club World Cup in the next few weeks where there will be participants from a country where a case of the Ebola virus has been identified (Spain). The number of foreign fans expected in the stadiums for the FIFA Club World 2014 is much higher than the ones expected for the Orange AFCON 2015. Egypt previously announced it cannot host the ACN on such short notice.
