MONROVIA (Reuters) - Liberia will host their first full international match since the lifting of an Ebola ban when they play Tunisia in an African Nations Cup qualifier in Monrovia on Saturday.

Liberia last hosted an international in May 2014 when they beat Lesotho 1-0 in a Nations Cup qualifier in the capital. They were subsequently banned from hosting any international football as the outbreak of Ebola virus led to some 4,800 deaths in the west African country.
