One of Cote D’Ivoire’s most iconic football stadiums, the Peace Stadium, located in the nation’s second largest city of Bouake will be hosting its second TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations after being one of the host venues back in 1984.
Bouaké Stade de la Paix is a multi-use stadium.
One of the venue’s most memorable events includes the dramatic semi-final 5-4 penalty win by Cameroon against Algeria in the 1984 TotalEnergies AFCON where the Indomitable Lions went on to claim the title.
The stadium has since received a major facelift from its original 15 000 to the now 40 000 capacity-seating among other upgrades ahead of the tournament.
Additional upgrades include a fully-equipped Media Centre, Auditorium, Conference Facilities as well as an upgraded spectator parking facility to accommodate the thousands of expected fans.
