At the age of 29, Seko Fofana is participating in his first international competition with the Ivory Coast. The Ivorian midfielder, to top it off, scored the opening goal of the 2023 African Cup of Nations being held in his home country. A great source of pride for him. « It’s an immense feeling of pride. I’ve been able to see how much the great players have always wanted to win this tournament and unfortunately, there are some who haven’t won it and when we have discussions with them, you can see how much it has affected them. My goal is to ensure that everything goes well. But I think participating in the African Cup of Nations and seeing all the excitement around the competition, whether it’s around the world, it’s an incredible sensation and also seeing people teasing each other on social media sometimes about the teams, it’s something very funny. We try to enjoy ourselves, » says the Al Nassr midfielder on the CAF website.
