Ivory Coast Triumphs as African Champions in Unforgettable Journey
Ivory Coast has emerged victorious as the champions of Africa in a truly remarkable journey. The tournament hosts faced adversity when their former head coach, Jean-Louis Gasset, was dismissed right in the midst of the competition. However, their interim coach, Emerse Fae, guided them to glory.
In the final against Nigeria, Franck Kessie scored the equalizer, setting the stage for a thrilling contest. Sebastian Haller, who recently recovered from testicular cancer, secured the winner late in the game, adding an extra layer of significance to Ivory Coast’s triumph.
