CURRENT REPORT BLOG Cote d’Ivoire’s head coach Emerse Fae has set his sights on keeping the Africa Cup of Nations trophy at home and securing a historic third star for their orange jersey.
Les Elephants will clash with the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the final showdown of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations at the Alassanne Ouattara Stadium, Ebimpe, Abidjan, this Sunday.
Despite facing a precarious situation after losing their last two group matches against Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea, the hosts have staged an impressive comeback to secure a spot in the final. Now, they stand just one victory away from emulating their triumphs in 1992 and 2015.
Fae’s determination to guide his team to glory on home soil adds an extra layer of intensity to the highly anticipated final clash.
“Tomorrow, we have a great opportunity to keep the trophy at home. We know that when you organize a tournament, it is difficult to go on and win it,”
“We have made the final and tomorrow, we have the opportunity to achieve this feat and at the same time, add a third star to the orange jersey of Côte d’Ivoire.” Fae said.
