    Wow, shouldn't Ghana be stronger than that? :eek: Did home crowd push Ivory Coast against local rivals (the two countries are neighbors)?

    Maybe? Ghana has historically been the stronger side and is currently higher-ranked, but neither side made CAF's top four in the three CAF tournaments from 2008-2012, then each one has had one third-place finish in the 2014 (CIV) and 2016 (GHA) tournaments. Ghana has owned the CAF youth competitions for the past five tournaments in a row, but it hasn't translated to the senior level all that well.
