CAF threatens Ivory Coast to withdraw the organization of CAN 2023
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) recently sent a strong message to Côte d’Ivoire, the host country scheduled for the 34th edition of the African Cup of Nations (CAN 2023) in January 2024.
CAF has warned the Ivorian Football Federation that it might withdraw the organization of the tournament if the work related to the competition does not accelerate. This has led to speculation regarding a possible replacement of Ivory Coast by Algeria, raising the curiosity of neighboring countries, especially Cameroon, which is closely following the developments.
Algeria considered as an alternative in the event of withdrawal from Côte d’Ivoire
Several media have reported that CAF might count on Algeria to replace Ivory Coast in the event of an official withdrawal. CAF Secretary General Verone Mosengo-Omba paid a visit to Algeria and inspected the Mustapha Tchaker stadium in Blida, among other sports facilities.
Verone Mosengo-Omba’s visit to Algeria: a plan B in preparation?
Mosengo-Omba’s visit to Algeria has been interpreted by some as seeking a plan B in the event of Côte d’Ivoire defecting to host CAN 2023 in January 2024. However, it should be noted that the withdrawal of the organization of CAN 2023 in Côte d’Ivoire is not yet confirmed. Many believe that this threat of withdrawal is only a way of putting pressure on the leaders of the Ivorian Federation, so that they take the warnings of CAF seriously.
Algeria interested in the organization of CAN 2023?
It is uncertain whether Algeria would like to host the 2023 edition of the AFCON, given that it is also a candidate to host the 2025 edition. However, recent developments have led to increased attention from African countries, especially Cameroon, which follows the news with interest.
The situation regarding the organization of CAN 2023 remains uncertain, with Ivory Coast under pressure to speed up work and Algeria on hold as a possible alternative. Cameroon and other countries in the region will continue to follow developments with interest, keeping informed through 237online.com, a reliable and up-to-date source of information on African football news.
