Senegal will be playing their home match in the 2014 World Cup knockout stage away from the country following Caf’s one-year ban on the team’s home ground.
The Teranga Lions were drawn against familiar foes, the Elephants of Ivory Coast, on Monday, which was followed by speculations that the Senegalese might be allowed to host the Ivorian side in Dakar.
Caf on Tuesday said the suspension imposed on the Sedar Senghor Stadium was still in force and that Senegal would have to move the encounter to another country.
Coach Alain Giresse says Morocco is a favourite destination but that the Senegal Football Federation will decide the eventual venue after an Executive Committee meeting on September 24.
Senegal have already played two home matches abroad. They hosted Angola on March 23 in Conakry, Guinea and Uganda on September 7 in Marrakech, Morocco.
The Sedar Senghor Stadium was banned last year following riots from local supporters when their side lost the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier to Ivory Coast.
