Current holders are Cote D'Ivoire, so congrats to them!

If you're wondering what the heck this is all about, it's basically like the "lineal" World Champ in boxing and started in 1967 when Scotland defeated current World Champ's England in a game at Wembley

Gabon can claim the Title on the 7th June

I'm sure we'll all be following the result of that one with baited breath...

Congratulations to the Ivory Coast, who successfully defended their title against Gabon.

Next up: Kenya.

I like this concept for fun, but the starting point seems arbitrary? Why not the 1st international?

Edit, I see that it does, if only I had clucked through.

Currently 0-0 as we near the end of the 1st half

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

It ends 0-0, so Cote D'Ivoire retain the Title

Not sure when the next match will be

They're due to play Burundi in March 2025, but I'm sure there'll be games before that

Now that’s what you call a defensive wall
