For a month, in the homeland of Didier Drogba, the artists of the king of sport will liven up the Cradle of Humankind continent with the beauty of football
Tomorrow, the biggest football party begins. In Côte d’Ivoire, twenty-four national teams will fight for the title, where several African stars will have the mission to bring joy to lovers of the king’s sport.
For a month, the world will have its eyes turned to the Cradle of Humankind continent, as African football presents a lot of fantasy and fans experience the party in an intense way.
Côte d’Ivoire is hosting the most important national team competition on the Confederation of African Football (CAF) calendar for the second time. The first took place in the distant year of 1984. As those who organize want to win, the saying goes. Didier Drogba’s compatriots are no exception to the rule, which is why they invested heavily in the five cities that will host the event, which was held for the first time in 1957, in Sudan, with eye-popping infrastructure.
No big names like in the past. The hosts, who will be led on the field by star Sébastien Haller, from Borrussia Dortmund in Germany, start as chronic candidates for the title. In fact, Côte d’Voire has won two titles in its history, in 1992 and 2015, so it will do everything it can to keep the trophy at home.
The fifty-two games will be played in five cities, namely Abidjan, Bouaké, Yamoussoukro, San Pedro and Korhogo, and the number of journalists to cover the event exceeded expectations, according to the organization. Football isn’t everything, Côte d’Ivoire was a powerhouse in coffee and cocoa production in West Africa during the 1960s and 1970s, although it went through an economic crisis in the 1980s, contributing to a period of political turbulence and Social.
