The Moroccan national team has been evacuated from the Guinean capital Conakry after their World Cup qualifier there was postponed following a coup d'etat in the West African country.
FIFA and African confederation CAF called off Monday's game following hours of heavy gunfire around the presidential palace and an apparent seizure of power by armed soldiers.
The Morocco squad and coaching staff were left trapped in their hotel, with coach Vahid Halilhodzic describing gunfire 'nearly all day', before they boarded a plane out of Guinea on Sunday night.
