Burkina Faso sack coach Traore after AFCON 2025 exit

Burkina Faso have sacked head coach Brama Traore and his entire backroom staff following the team’s exit from the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. The Burkina Faso Football Federation announced the decision on Wednesday, citing the need for a new direction after a disappointing last 16 elimination.​ Traore, 63, took charge of the Stallions in March 2024, replacing Frenchman Hubert Velud, who was also dismissed after a last 16 exit at the previous AFCON. Under his watch, Burkina Faso failed to reach the quarter finals, losing 3–0 to defending champions Ivory Coast in the knockout phase.​ In the wake of the defeat, Traore admitted that his tactics did not work and took responsibility for the poor performance. He also blamed the team’s struggles on the absence of several key players and said the squad lacked intensity and desire on the […]

Salah fires Egypt past Ivory Coast into AFCON semis

Egypt booked their place in the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals after a dramatic 3-2 victory over defending champions Ivory Coast in Agadir, with Mohamed Salah once again playing a decisive role. The Liverpool forward scored his fourth goal of the tournament as the Pharaohs continued their push for a first continental title since 2010. The win also sets up a high-profile semi-final against Senegal and Sadio Mané, renewing one of African football’s biggest rivalries. Egypt got off to a flying start when Omar Marmoush opened the scoring in the fourth minute, finishing calmly after being put through by Emam Ashour. Ivory Coast looked rattled, and their problems deepened on the half-hour mark when Rami Rabia rose highest to head in Salah’s corner and make it 2-0. The Elephants were handed a lifeline just before the break when Ahmed Abou […]

AFCON 2025 set for kickoff in Morocco

The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations kicks off in Morocco today, bringing together 24 of the continent’s best teams in a tournament already marked by debate over its timing. The competition was originally planned for the summer but was moved to December and January, a switch that has angered many European clubs forced to release key African players mid season.​ Columnist Patrick Omorodion notes that the calendar change has revived long standing tensions between club and country whenever AFCON is staged during the European season. Despite the complaints, he argues that African football authorities must prioritise conditions that suit the continent’s climate and infrastructure rather than bowing completely to European interests.​ The expanded 24 team format means more countries now have the chance to play on the big stage, raising excitement among fans across Africa. However, it also increases pressure […]

He said anything short of lifting the title would be viewed as a failure for a team that […]

Ivorians Vote Amid Tensions Over President Ouattara’s Fourth-Term Bid

Ivorians will head to the polls on Saturday, October 25, for a tense presidential election marked by anger and controversy over incumbent President Alassane Ouattara’s decision to seek a fourth consecutive term. Under the Ivorian constitution, a president is limited to two terms. However, Ouattara insists that the 2016 constitutional revision “reset” his term count, allowing him to run again. The move has ignited widespread criticism and rekindled fears of political instability in the West African nation. Ivory Coast, the world’s top cocoa and cashew nut producer, stands as a key economic hub in the region and West Africa’s second-largest economy. The country of 32 million, located between Ghana and Liberia, is rich in rainforests and coastal beauty. Nearly a quarter of the population resides in the commercial capital, Abidjan, while the official administrative capital is Yamoussoukro. French remains the […]

Ivory Coast Election Tension: Security Forces Flood Abidjan Ahead of Presidential Vote

Abidjan, Ivory Coast In the working-class neighborhood of Yopougon, the familiar aroma of grilled chicken and fish still fills the air at the busy Sapeurs-Pompiers crossroad. Food vendors shout over each other to attract customers, and the smoky scent of street grills drifts through the humid evening. But the usual crowds that stay out late are thinning earlier than usual. As night falls, residents hurry home, uneasy about potential election-related violence. Two police trucks remain stationed at the intersection, part of the heavy security presence that now defines daily life in the city. Since October 10, when campaigning began for this weekend’s presidential polls, these vehicles have become a permanent fixture in the area. The Ivorian government has deployed about 44,000 police and soldiers across the country, saying the measure is meant to guarantee a safe and peaceful election. Yet […]

US pushes plan to disarm Hamas and rebuild Gaza

An Ivory Coast court has sentenced 32 people to three years in prison for taking part in banned protests held earlier this month, just days before the country’s presidential election. The verdict was delivered on Tuesday, four days before the vote, as tensions rise between the government and opposition supporters. The protests were organized after opposition leaders Laurent Gbagbo and Tidjane Thiam were barred from running against President Alassane Ouattara, who is seeking a fourth term at age 83. The defendants were convicted of “disturbing public order” and “assembling on public roadways.” Last week, about 30 other protesters received similar sentences. Authorities have banned all demonstrations, citing threats to public safety. Public prosecutor Oumar Braman Kone said some protests amounted to “acts of terrorism” and argued that “the freedom to demonstrate cannot be confused with disorder.” Defence lawyers argued there […]

Ivory Coast Cocoa Farmers Concerned About Harmattan Wind’s Impact on Production.

Cocoa farmers in Ivory Coast are raising alarms over the potential negative impact of the strong Harmattan wind on cocoa crops. The Harmattan, a seasonal wind from the Sahara Desert, typically lasts from December to March, bringing dry conditions that can dehydrate the soil and damage cocoa pods.Farmers in key cocoa-growing regions such as Daloa, Yamoussoukro, and Bongouanou have reported below-average rainfall and intensifying Harmattan winds. With little rain last week, they worry that if the dry conditions persist for another two weeks, cocoa tree leaves will dry out, leading to lower yields starting in February.“There is no rain, and if the Harmattan remains strong, tree yields will be low,” said Albert N’Zue, a farmer near Daloa.Meanwhile, farmers in regions like Abengourou, where rainfall was significantly above the five-year average, are optimistic. “We’ve had enough rain, which will help trees […]
