Cote d’Ivoire 2023 AFCON: CAF sets January 3 deadline for final squad submission
Qualified nations for the 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) are expected to name their final squad for the tournament by January 3, 2024.
The organizing committee of the tournament has allowed teams to submit 27 players for the tournament, albeit only 23 players will be available for selection for each match during the tournament.
CAF says “the registration of the four additional players on the final list is only an option and not an obligation.”
Also, a player in the final squad can only be replaced after a serious injury no less than 24 hours before the team’s first match following the approval of the medical certificate by the CAF Medical Committee.
With less than a month to the commencement of the tournament, all 24 nations have submitted a provisional list of no more than 55 players.
The final tournament will take place from January 13 to February 11, 2024, in the Ivorian cities of Abidjan, Bouake, Korhogo, San Pedro, and Yamoussoukro.
