The last African Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire was completely crazy. After a catastrophic start and the resignation in the middle of the competition of coach Jean-Louis Gasset, the Elephants managed to regain their level of play and race to an unexpected coronation at home.
Two years later, they are back at the CAN with the status of title holder. And with a very complicated hen. Placed in Group F with Cameroon, Gabon and Mozambique, the Ivorians have undoubtedly inherited the most complicated program. Three good performances should, however, give them the confidence they need to shine in the knockout phase.
Ivory Coast launches the defense of its title this Wednesday, December 24 at 6:30 p.m. at the Marrakech stadium against Mozambique. The Elephants will then face the big player in Group F, Cameroon, on Sunday December 28 at 9 p.m., before finishing against Gabon on Wednesday December 31 at 8 p.m. These two matches will also take place in Marrakech.
