President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be in attendance at the Stade Alassane Ouattara in Abidjan to support the Super Eagles against Ivory Coast in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final on Sunday, 11 February.
The President of the African Football Confederation, Dr Patrice Motsepe, revealed this on Friday, February 9, when speaking at a press conference after meeting with the presidents of CAF member federations ahead of the AFCON final.
Motsepe, responding to a journalist who asked him when Africa could host the FIFA World Cup again after South Africa did so for the first time in 2010, said President Tinubu will be in Abidjan on Sunday.
“Nigeria must come forward with an offer. The Nigerian president (Bola Tinubu) is coming to watch the final on Sunday. I’ll talk to him about it.” he said.
Recall that on Wednesday, February 7, Vice President Kashim Shettima saw the Super Eagles beat South Africa 4-2 on penalties in the AFCON 2023 semi-final.
