The Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) will kick off in Ivory Coast this Saturday, and its title is linked to the French hydrocarbon giant, TotalEnergies.
The tournament was originally scheduled for June and July 2023 but was moved to its traditional January-February slot in 2024 due to concerns about extreme weather events during the rainy season in west Africa.
