PUNCH reports that Morocco football team, Atlas Lions, on Saturday, made history as the first team, other than the host nation, to touch down in Cote d’Ivoire for the 2023 CAF Africa Cup of Nations.
The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Tuesday, urged the Super Eagles to win the AFCON, stating that the triumph of the Eagles would bring succour to the citizens.
The governor gave the charge when he hosted the team to a special dinner at the Lagos House, Marina, before the team’s departure to Cote d’Ivoire for the AFCON tournament, which is slated to commence on Saturday, January 13.
