Afcon quarter final moved after stadium crush

The Africa Cup of Nations quarter final match due to take place on Sunday at the Olembe Stadium in Cameroon's capital, Yaoundé, has been moved.

It comes after eight people died on Monday following a crush outside the stadium before a match between Cameroon and Comoros. 

Two of those killed were children aged six and 14 and dozens were injured. 

Confederation of African Football (Caf) President Patrice Motsepe said a number of changes were under way and Sunday's game would now take place at Yaoundé's Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium.
