The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations is set to receive an official match ball named in honor of Ivorian football legend, Laurent Pokou, as unveiled by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). This unveiling marks another significant milestone in the lead-up to the tournament’s official kick-off.
Named “POKOU,” the official ball prominently showcases the three primary colors of the Cote d’Ivoire flag—white, orange, and green—while incorporating cutting-edge technology that promises to transform the game not only on the African continent but also worldwide.
