Find practical information on Nigeria-Côte d’Ivoire, final of the 2024 African Cup of Nations.
On the verge of elimination at the end of the group stage after the enormous humiliation of a 4-0 defeat inflicted by Equatorial Guinea, Ivory Coast finds itself in the final of the African Cup of Nations 2023, postponed to 2024, like a miracle. On their home soil, the Elephants are favorites against Nigeria after everything that happened to them.
Max-Alain Gradel and his well-known L1 teammates (Serge Aurier, Seko Fofana, Nicolas Pépé, Jérémie Boga, etc.) changed coaches in the middle of the competition, let’s not forget that. Successor to Frenchman Jean-Louis Gasset, Emerse Fae is living a waking dream.
To prevent a third continental coronation for Ivory Coast, after 1992 and 2015, Nigeria coached by the Portuguese José Peseiro will rely in particular in attack on Victor Osimhen (Naples).
