The Confederation of African Football and the Local Organising Committee will introduce the Main Media Centre concept in Abidjan as the main “nerve” centre for media services during the CAF Africa Cup of Nations, Côte d’Ivoire 2023.
The Main Media Centre for the African championship will be at Palais de la Culture de Treichville in Abidjan.
It will officially open its doors on January 10, 2024, three days before the opening match of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations, Côte d’Ivoire 2023.
The MMC, which is being introduced at the CAF AFCON for the first time in its 67-year history, is strategically located in the heart of Abidjan and designed to provide the media, including photographers and broadcasters, with a unique working environment.

All pre-match press conferences (Match Day 1) for both matches in Alassane Ouattara (Ebimpe) and Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium will be held at the Main Media Centre.
This will include all non-match day media events and press conferences.
The Media in Abidjan will also be able to follow press conferences from other venues at the Main Media Centre daily.
This is yet another way of CAF and COCAN to make work easy for more than 3,000 media that have been accredited for the competition.
The Main Media Centre can accommodate over 500 media and has a press conference facility.
CAF General Secretary, Veron Mosengo-Omba, said: “Media plays an important role in making the CAF Africa Cup of Nations a success.
“It is important for CAF to introduce the best possible conditions for media to do its work.
“The Main Media Centre will centralize media events and services.
“This means media do not need to travel between the two venues for pre-match media conferences.”
