Ivory Coast Prepares For AFCON With Sports Infrastructure Upgrades
Ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament kicking off in January 2024, Ivory Coast has undertaken significant efforts to upgrade its sports infrastructure.
Ivory Coast has built roads and constructed four new sports stadiums in preparation for the tournament. This ambitious project aims to not only host the prestigious competition successfully, but also to leave a lasting legacy for future generations of athletes and sports enthusiasts.
“Ivory Coast will become a hub in the sub-region. All countries in the sub-region which do not have approved stadiums will be welcome,” said Idriss Diallo, president of the Ivorian Football Federation.
He estimated the country had invested more than $1 billion on roads, stadiums, hospitals and other infrastructure relating to the competition, which will take place in multiple cities from January 13th – 11th February, 202.
The commitment to upgrading sports infrastructure in Ivory Coast demonstrates the country’s dedication to sports development and its ambition to become a major player in the African sporting landscape.
By hosting AFCON 2024, Ivory Coast has the opportunity to showcase its progress and inspire future generations of athletes to strive for excellence.
This ambitious project represents a significant step forward for Ivorian sports and its legacy will continue to benefit athletes and communities for years to come.
