The President of West African Football Union Kurt Okraku has congratulated Ivory Coast for winning the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
The host nation won the continental competition after securing a 2-1 comeback win against Nigeria at the Olympique Alhassan Ouattara stadium on Sunday night.
“On behalf of Wafu Zone B, big congratulations to Cote D’Ivoire for winning its third continental trophy and for organizing the best AFCON in the competition,” Kurt said at the African Games football lunch.
“Congratulations also to all the countries from that Zone that took part in the 34th edition of the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations and to all the 24 nations that took part in this great Rendezvous of continental soccer staged in our Zone. Our Zone secured the top two positions with Nigeria joining Cote D’Ivoire on the podium, which is a great source of satisfaction”.
The next continental tournament will be held in January 2025 in Morocco.
