For those who know Ivory Coast, there&#8217;s a saying that goes &#8220;Abidjan is sweet&#8221;. It&#8217;s universal. And so we&#8217;re going to make sure that all foreigners appreciate it. That&#8217;s at the organisational level&#8221; said Yacine Idriss Diallo, President of the Ivorian Football Federation (FIF).<\/p>\n<p>This will be the second Africa Cup of Nations finals to be organized by CAF in Co\u0302te d&#8217;Ivoire.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For about fifteen years, we had no stadiums in Ivory Coast. We had to go and play away from home for Ivory Coast matches. The President understood that it was important to offer his young people an environment and conditions in which they could flourish&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>AFCON 2023 will be held from January 13 to February 11, 2024 in Ivory coast where 24 teams will battle for the the continental title.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eritrea\">Eritrea<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eritrea.
