ALGIERS- The 34th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) was officially launched this Saturday evening in Ivory Coast, marked by a magnificent opening ceremony at the Alassane Ouattara Olympic Stadium.
Immersed in the colors and culture of Ivory Coast, the ceremony featured various performances, including singers, acrobats, and dancers, showcasing the vibrant traditions of Ivory Coast and African unity. The first match between Ivory Coast, the host country, and Guinea-Bissau kicked off at 9:07 PM following the opening ceremony.
The event concluded with a fireworks display in the Ivorian national colors, illuminating the Abidjan sky after the spectacular launch ceremony of Africa’s premier football celebration.
Originally scheduled for June and July 2023, this edition was postponed to 2024 by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) due to climatic reasons.
Ivory Coast, starting the tournament as a favorite, aims to honor its status and pursue a third championship, following victories in 1992 and 2015, and to break the curse of the host nation, which has not won the CAN since Egypt in Cairo in 2006.
