Ivorian National Championship Set to Finally Kick Off After Delays
After months of uncertainty and repeated postponements due to financial constraints, the Ivorian national football championship is finally set to begin. According to information reported by Afrik-Foot, the long-awaited competition will officially kick off on November 28, starting with first division clubs, followed by second division matches two days later, on November 30.
The Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) has confirmed the restart, putting an end to speculation over the fate of the domestic league, which had been on hold due to funding issues. The delay had sparked concern among players, clubs, and fans, all eager to see domestic football return to action.
With this green light, teams will now be able to compete for the national title after months of inactivity, offering local players much-needed game time and exposure, especially in a country known for producing football stars like Didier Drogba and Yaya Touré.
This return to the pitch marks an important step in stabilizing and reinvigorating Ivorian football at the grassroots and professional levels.
