The President of the African soccer ruling body Patrice Motsepe has debunked the rumour going around that Ivory Coast will be stripped of the hosting right of the 2023 African Cup of Nations, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The competition was supposed to be held this summer but was postponed to January/February 2024 due to some reasons, including the readiness of some vital facilities.
