colours of ivory coast, white, orange and green. they were having a party, dancing, singing, blowing their horns. absolutely proud that this country has been able to put on the biggest sports event in africa. it has been happening in the build—up to this game, people want to talk about this event and how glad they are that the continent's best footballers are here for this tournament. there is a crackling atmosphere inside the stadium i had of this opening match. a lot has been put into theirs, over $1 billion on infrastructure, including those for new stadiums, to which have been refurbished, this is one of the new ones. people are really genuinely looking forward to what should be a cracking tournament. it is a competitive tournament, some big names and big teams over the next month or so, who are we looking to expect to cause some problems for the favourites amongst the pack? the the favourites amongst the pack? tie:
combinations the favourites amongst the pack? tue: combinations are always unpredictable, you never know what will happen. here even more so, more than half a dozen teams are being discussed as potential champions, including ivory coast but also the defending champions senegal, quite a group, cameroon in the group, led by sadio mane who scored the winning goal when they defeated egypt a couple of years ago in cameroon in that final. if you look further down the groups, nigeria, they play in the groups, nigeria, they play in the same group in abidjan as ivory coast, their opening match tomorrow against equatorial guinea, victor osimhen is expected, he will have to score the goal, top—sider, lots of good strikers, concerns further down in the midfield, the goalkeeper. egypt you mention, always there or thereabouts and beaten finalist last time. can mo salah get his hands of the africa cup of nations? broker, what a world cup they had in qatar.
playing for ourselves a little bit more than money. a mismatch on paper but the big slope on their home pitch may come in handy as the luton ladies try to reach the fifth round for the first time in their history. the africa cup of nations kicks off shortly, as hosts ivory coast face guinea—bissau. the government says its invested over $1 billion on hosting the tournament and has built four new stadiums. defending champions senegal are one of the favourites, along with mo salah's egypt, and world cup semi—finallists morocco. i spoke to our sports news correspondent alex capstick in abidjan, who told me the fans are ready. this stadium, named after the president, was filling up hours before kick—off. we took a car journey out here, it took a long time, and reason for that, one of the reasons was this size of the rows and were full of fans, all wearing separate combinations of the
one in 2015, no real stars in the ivorian team this time but they are considered one of the favourites because all of their players play in a top leagues in europe and you mention depression, that was something couch addressed when he spoke to the media yesterday in a press conference. frenchman, he was saying that it has been difficult for them, saying that it has been difficult forthem, putting saying that it has been difficult for them, putting it into context, they feel the pressure, they know they feel the pressure, they know the expectations. a very demanding public here in the ivory coast, they expect their team to do well tonight. they are playing against guinea—bissau, having qualified last for africa cup of nations but haven't won a match, haven't even got out of the group. it would be a big shock if they were to grab something of the ivorian is, for the ivories that would be devastating, they expect nothing less than i comfortable victory. aha,
get results, but in terms of what our belief is, it is still that in a game against luton we can get results, like we felt we could get something against aston villa at the other teams we have played. i think we're any frame of mind where that is also looked likely, but we have to make it happen. the asian cup gets under way very shortly in qatar. the hosts are also the defending champions and they face lebanon in the tournament opener. it's taking place at the lusail stadium where the world cup final was held at the end of 2022. south korea will be looking to win it for the first time in a long time. they're one of two favourites, along with japan and australia. we have come here for a reason and that reason is to come here to win this asian cup, as you said it is
