As the 34th edition of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Côte d’Ivoire 2023 drew to a thrilling close on Sunday, Ecobank (Ecobank.com), the leading pan-African banking group, celebrates the remarkable achievements and spirit of unity witnessed throughout the tournament.
Jeremy Awori, Chief Executive Officer, Ecobank Group, expressed his delight at the success of the tournament: “As the pan-African bank and proud sponsor of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Côte d’Ivoire 2023, we are thrilled to have been part of this historic event, which showcased the best of African football and unity. Congratulations to Côte d’Ivoire on their well-deserved victory and to all the teams for their outstanding sportsmanship.”
