Hosts Ivory Coast can win 2023 AFCON, says former star Kalou
Salomon Kalou during the AFCON 2023 qualifiers group stage draw at SuperSport studio, Randburg on Tuesday.
With the Ivorians guaranteed a place at the next Cup of Nations, only the highest placed of the other three teams will join them at the finals. “Playing at home is always an advantage,” said the 36-year-old who helped the Ivorians defeat Ghana on penalties to win the 2015 final in Equatorial Guinea. Ivory Coast are coach-less after deciding not to renew the contract of France-born Patrice Beaumelle following a last-16 exit from the 2021/2022 Cup of Nations after a penalty shootout against Egypt.
Belgium-born South Africa coach Hugo Broos wanted an “easy” draw, but did not get one as they must tackle Morocco, Zimbabwe and Liberia in Group K.
