With only two hours left before the kickoff of the Elephants versus Lions of Teranga clash at the Félix Houphouët Boigny stadium in Abidjan, tension is reaching its peak in the city. The players are utilizing the final moments to connect with their fans through major social networks.
Issa Cissokho, a Nantes player representing the Senegalese selection, just tweeted: “Heading to the stadium where some 45,000 people are expected. 3 hours before the World Cup. inshallah! A positive result.”
All the elements are in place for a thrilling encounter between the Ivorians and Senegalese. Last year, these two teams battled for a spot in the CAN 2013, and in the end, it was the Elephants who emerged victorious. The anticipation is high for another compelling match.
