After the team’s performance at the competition, the host country, Ivory Coast, has not had the predicted outcome for the 34th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations.
Ivorians entered this competition expecting to advance far in the competition, but their performance has fallen well short of expectations. Equatorial Guinea trounced them 4-0, and the spectators aggressively vented their discontent.
Monday, January 21, 2024, was the game day. Angry fans vandalized the team bus after the game. To stay in the competition, Ivory Coast can, however, advance via the best losers route to the Round of 16.
