Ivory Coast Celebrates Afcon Victory with Street Parade

Thousands of football fans in Abidjan celebrated Ivory Coast's third Africa Cup of Nations win with a victory parade after the team's unlikely triumph, having lost two group games and fired their manager mid-tournament. The parade, featuring the players on a flatbed truck, culminated in a trophy presentation at Félix Houphouët Boigny stadium. The team's underdog story, including the goal scored by Sébastien Haller, who had recently battled testicular cancer, has made them national heroes, with fans around the world hailing their victory as one of the greatest turnarounds in football tournament history.
