The Côte d'Ivoire Football Federation issued an official statement to respond to reports that CAF wanted to withdraw the organization of the Africa Cup of Nations 2021 and give it to Cameroon, which had removed the organization of the 2019 edition.
The Ivorian federation issued a statement confirming that she was aware of Kef's wish to withdraw the Côte d'Ivoire tournament organization and award it to Cameroon, with a copy of 2023 on their territory, without receiving any notification from the African Football Confederation.
Declaration of the Ivorian Federation
"We have not received any notification from CAF or discussions have taken place with football or state officials on the withdrawal of the organization of the nations of Africa 2021, and we are continuing preparations for the organization of the tournament, "said the Ivorian federation in its statement.
"Augustine Sidi Diallo, president of the Ivorian federation, was present in Accra to attend the final of the Women's Africa Championship.He met many officials of the CAF and nobody told him anything about the transfer of the tournament or the withdrawal of the organization. "
Press reports revealed that the African Union had decided to appease Cameroon after the withdrawal of the Organization of African Nations for Africa 2019 from its territory for lack of preparation, in granting the right to organize the next version in 2021 despite the fact that it had been attributed to Ivory Coast earlier, which earned it the honor to organize this version.
On the other hand, the African Football Confederation (CAF) has opened the door for applications for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, with the host country being unveiled by the end of the month..
