After a month of competition, highlights everywhere, ups and downs, tears and joys, the African Cup of Nations 2024 edition ends this Sunday, February 11, for a final between the Coast of Ivory in Nigeria (9 p.m.).

The Democratic Republic of Congo was not strong enough to break the Ivorian fortress and conquer a stadium heated by the presence of thousands of local supporters who came to support the Elephants. 

Miraculous from start to finish in this competition, Côte d'Ivoire only needed a small goal from Sébastien Haller at the' #39;hour of play, to qualify for the final of this CAN 2024.  

"The AFCON is coming home!" write hundreds of Nigerian supporters on social networks. Without forgetting the multiple praises given to the Portuguese coach, José Peseiro, who is very close to bringing home a fourth CAN, the first since 2013. 

This last duel at the top to conclude this new African Cup of Nations promises to be enticing. Solid and supportive. The key to success will follow this path.
