Côte d'Ivoire crowned African champions after seven matches and a stunning final against Nigeria. From the final whistle, Ivory Coast supporters burst into joy and emotion at the Ébimpé stadium.

But when celebrating the title, many have a thought for Morocco, the host of CAN 2024. “Everyone laughed. From humiliation to glory! But it’s all thanks to Morocco. Moroccans, we love you!” shouts an Ivorian, Atlas Lions jersey on his shoulders, in the middle of the vuvuzuelas.
