Afcon 2023: From civil war in Ivory Coast to $1bn spend on hosting tournament
Briefly

"Ivory Coast is a poor country. As a result, President Ouattara has had to take out loans to finance this project, so we have to ensure the loans actually benefit Ivory Coast. The country will have to maintain the infrastructure. If we're not careful and don't think about creating events to boost revenues from our stadiums, I fear the country of the elephant will produce white elephants."
"Not so - say the country's politicians."
