We recognise the logistical strain this change may pose for teams and officials. Yet, the ability to pivot preserves the essence of the tournament: youth development, regional camaraderie, and sporting progression.

We assert that this decision is not a failure but a demonstration of responsible governance. It safeguards the interests of participants and maintains trust among stakeholders. As the region looks on, we anticipate that Côte d’Ivoire will deliver a tournament that echoes WAFU-B’s reputation for fostering talent and unity. +
