CAF To Test Run Cote D'Ivoire Facilities Ahead of AFCON Finals

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has revealed that Ivory Coast will be tested as the home nation of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals.

The West African country is set to host the 2023 CAF Women’s Champions League between 5 August and 16 September 2023.

CAF has explained that the women’s continental club competition will be used to test Ivory Coast’s readiness to stage the AFCON finals early next year.

“Five cities will host the competition, affording the thousands of travelling fans wider options of enjoying Cote d’Ivoire’s beautiful culture and rich heritage,” a statement read.

“In addition to the regular visits that the various CAF Departments have and continue to make at all five host cities, the host nation will be afforded an opportunity to assess their state of readiness when they host the third edition of the CAF Women’s Champions League in November.”

CAF postponed the 2023 AFCON finals to 13 January and 11 February 2024 on 3 July 2022 due to the adverse summer weather concerns in Ivory Coast.
