The Confederation of African Football (CAF) on Friday released the official match schedule for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).<\/p>\n

The draw for the biennial competition took place in Abidjan last week.<\/p>\n

The 34th edition of the biggest sports event on African soil will take place from 13 January to 11 February 2024 in Abidjan, Yamoussoukro, Bouake, San Pedro, and Korhogo.<\/p>\n

The opening game will feature hosts Cote d\u2019Ivoire and Guinea-Bissau on Sunday, January 13, 2024 at Alassane Ouattara Olympic Stadium of Ebimpe, in Abidjan.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Black Stars will open their campaign with a match against Cape Verde at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny in Abidjan on January 14, 2024.<\/p>\n

The second group game will be against seven-time champions of the tournament, Egypt, also at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny in the Ivorian capital on January 18, 2024.<\/p>\n

The last group match, which will take place simultaneously with the other group fixture, is against Mozambique at the Stade Alassane Ouattara in Abidjan four days later.<\/p>\n

The Black Stars will be hoping to break the four decades jinx by lifting the ultimate title at the tournament in Cote d\u2019Ivoire next year.<\/p>\n

The last Ghana triumph at the Africa Cup of Nations was in 1982.<\/p>\n
