Defending champions
The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) will be held from January 13 to February 11, 2024. The last time Côte d'Ivoire hosted the AFCON tournament was in 1984.
The 34th edition of the tournament was to be held between June 23 and July 23, 2023, but the Confederation of African Football (CAF) postponed it over weather concerns. Between June and July, it is usually a rainy season in Côte d'Ivoire.
The 2024 games will be played in Abidjan, Bouake, Korhogo and Yamoussoukro.
The AFCON defending champions are Senegal, who beat Egypt 4-2 on post-match penalties to win their first title in February 2022. The final had ended 0-0 after extra time.
