The CAF Africa Cup of Nations Côte d’Ivoire 2023, also known as the 2023 AFCON, took place from January 13 to February 11, 2024.
Senegal was the Africa Cup of Nations holders, having beaten Egypt on penalties in Cameroon’s capital, Yaounde, two years ago, with Man of the Competition Sadio Mane converting the winning spot-kick.
Côte d’Ivoire previously staged Africa’s showpiece men’s football tournament in 1984 when Cameroon claimed its first of five titles.
