According to information provided by the Minister of Sports, Youth and Employment, Boubakar Savadogo, the Burkinabè team could well set up its headquarters in Yamoussoukro.
« In Bouaké, there are some infrastructure difficulties. It was the discussion with the players that allowed us to say that perhaps what is made available to us does not allow for a good competition. ”, reveals Boubakar Savadogo.
A better preparation framework
According to him, with the highway, the Étalons can reach Bouaké in 45 minutes. This option will, according to him, provide a better preparation framework. Algeria had also refused the site proposed by CAF as a base camp.
A national organizing committee for the Ivory Coast section was also set up according to the minister. CAN 2023 takes place from January 13 to February 11, 2024. Burkina Faso is housed in Bouaké in the same group as Mauritania, Algeria and Angola. Group C made up of Senegal, Cameroon, Guinea and Gambia is also housed in Yamoussoukro.
