The Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium

Named after the founder of Cote D’Ivoire and the nation’s first Head of State, President Felix Houphouet-Boigny, one of the country’s heritage venues will play host to the Africa’s biggest event for the second time, having been one of the two host venues back in 1984.

In line with meeting the required CAF Standards, the stadium is undergoing complete renovations to its structural set up, seating, pitch, dressing rooms and hospitality suits.

The seating capacity has doubled to 33 000 ahead of the tournament, along with other facility upgrades to the venue.

In addition to football, the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium boasts an athletics track and has also hosted a number of major sporting codes and events in Abidjan.
