Description
Street vendors flog football shirts and fans blow vuvuzelas, while lively chants ring out in the streets of Abidjan. There are just two days to go before the Africa Cup of Nations kicks off in Ivory Coast, and the excitement is palpable. "Having the AFCON here is great because it means we can sell merchandise and make a bit more money," one vendor tells AFP, while another says, "we organised the tournament in 1984 and prayed to God that we would have a chance to hold it here again."
