It’s official, the 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) begins today. The tournament which was supposed to take place in 2023 is set to kick off on January 13, 2024.
The host nation, Ivory Coast is scheduled to play the opening match against Guinea-Bissau. How this match goes can possibly determine the pace of the entire tournament. Will the host nation actually show us what they’ve got? or will the slack for Guinea-Bissau manage to over take them? Let’s hold off and simply observe.
Les Éléphants of Cote D’Ivoire has sold themselves as a mighty national team in African football. They’ve achieved several victories by winning the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in 1992 and they have consistently represented their country in various international tournaments. The national team of Guinea-Bissau, known as “Djurtus,” has been making sporadic appearances in the AFCON tournament. The team is progressively developing in the past few years.
