The Confederation of African Football (CAF) President, Patrice Motsepe, on Friday in Abidjan said about two billion people globally are watching the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Côte d’Ivoire.
Motsepe disclosed this at a news conference, ahead of the AFCON final on Saturday.
He described the feat as an achievement that Africans should be proud of.
“We have had close to two billion people watching AFCON globally. We should be proud as Africans and the next one will be even better.
“The success of Africa depends upon Africa working together, trading together, and in football, countries competing and playing together,” he said.
The organisation of the tournament has so far been top notch, with six beautiful stadia across five cities hosting the continental showpiece.
