It is no longer news that 24 African countries will be locking horns for the coveted African Cup of Nations trophy.
The news is that Nigerian Afropop singer Yemi Alade is among the top musicians that will be performing at the opening ceremony of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The 2023 AFCON finals will run from January 13 to February 11.
The competition’s opening ceremony is slated for the Alassanne Quattara Stadium, Ebimpe, Abidjan on Saturday.
“I can’t buttress the importance of prayer and speaking your heart desires into existence,” Alade said in a statement on her X handle.
“Since 2016, I have desired to perform at the stadium for football ceremonies surrounded by hundreds of dancers and people.
“7 years later, I’m performing at AFCON. It is indeed an honour and a dream come true. It’s just the beginning.”
