June 12 – The Confederation of African Football (CAF) have given a branding facelift to the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations, the first time the showpiece African national team tournament has had a new look in 10 years.
The official identity for the Côte d’Ivoire 2023 finals – to be hosted in January 2024 – “pays homage to the richness of the Ivorian culture and continent of Africa as a whole, while beautifully representing the essence of African football and the splendor of the host nation.”
The six elephant tusks represent the six groups that will compete in the competition, and embody the diversity of the continent’s football. The identity also features five balls, showcased to symbolise the African Cup of Nations trophy. These spheres signify the pinnacle of achievement.
CAF general secretary Veron Mosengo-Omba said: “The unveiling of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Côte d’Ivoire 2023 identity marks an exciting milestone in our journey towards the tournament in 2024. We are aware that we are getting nearer and nearer to the big moment in January next year.”
The TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Côte d’Ivoire 2023 will kick-off on 13 January 2024 with the first match scheduled to be played at Stade Olympic Alassane Ouattara.
