In recent days, a rumor has capsized Internet users on the web. Indeed, some “sources” had mentioned the possibility of the non-holding of the 2023 African Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire. A surprising rumor to say the least, especially since the country that was cited to replace Côte d’Ivoire was Algeria.
Thus, gaining momentum, this rumor has cast unprecedented doubt as to the identity of the host country of CAN 2023. Nevertheless, the Algerian Football Federation’s communication officer, Salah Bey Aboud, wanted to put an end to this eventuality.
Invited on the set of an Algerian channel, Salah Bey Aboud said, “Recently, we heard about the possibility of replacing Côte d’Ivoire in the organization of CAN 2023. This is not fair. Yesterday, I spoke with members of the Ivorian delegation, and they say that they are preparing their CAN in the most serene way possible. he explains to the journalist.
According to the FAF spokesperson, everything is in order. Algeria has not been asked to replace Côte d’Ivoire in the organization of CAN 2023 since CAF does not even plan to replace the host country of the next edition of the African Cup of Nations.

In his speech, Salah Bey Aboud assured that, “Algeria supports Côte d’Ivoire in its bet to organize the 2023 African Cup of Nations. We want this CAN to take place in Côte d’Ivoire. according to what is already planned. he adds.
Returning to the file of the organization of CAN 2025, Salah Aboud said, “We have every chance of organizing CAN 2025. CAF has not announced anything yet. he says in response to the journalist’s question.
If Salah Bey Aboud believes that Algeria still has a chance to host CAN 2025, others do not see it that way. Ainis, according to BeIN Sports journalist and commentator Hafid Derradji, “CAN 2025 will not take place in Algeria. he says.
Derradji even evokes a possible disenchantment for Algerian fans by saying, “I have doubts about the holding of CAN 2027 in Algeria. he explains.
