Ivory Coast has constructed roads and constructed 4 new sports activities stadiums in preparation for internet hosting the Africa Cup of Nations, the soccer match which is able to kick off in January. The West African nation is keen to develop soccer regionally and exhibit its capacity to host a global sporting occasion.

“Ivory Coast will become a hub in the sub-region. All countries in the sub-region which do not have approved stadiums will be welcome,” stated Idriss Diallo, president of the Ivorian Football Federation. He estimated the nation had invested greater than $1 billion in roads, stadiums, hospitals and different infrastructure regarding the competitors, which is able to happen in a number of cities from Jan. 13 to Feb 11.
