In a move aimed at fostering the growth of football in Africa, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has donated a staggering $14 million to Côte d’Ivoire through its legacy fund. This generous gesture comes on the heels of the country’s exceptional hosting of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
CAF President Patrice Motsepe revealed that the funds are specifically earmarked for the development of football infrastructure and programs in Côte d’Ivoire. This investment is expected to have a profound impact on the sport’s trajectory in the nation, providing a solid foundation for future generations of footballers.
The legacy fund donation is a testament to CAF’s commitment to promoting and developing football on the continent. By supporting host countries, CAF aims to create a lasting legacy that extends beyond the tournament itself.
Côte d’Ivoire’s successful hosting of AFCON 2023 set a high standard for future tournaments, and this donation serves as a well-deserved recognition of their efforts. As the beautiful game continues to captivate audiences worldwide, initiatives like CAF’s legacy fund play a vital role in ensuring its sustainable growth and development in Africa.
