17-time Ivorian champions Africa Sports of Abidjan relegated after 74 years in the elite

It is an event in Ivorian football. Africa Sports from Abidjan relegated for the first time in its history to the second division. After 74 years in the top flight, the club, plagued by many problems, will descend to the lower division.

Despite a victory Sunday against AFAD during the 14th day, Africa Sports of Abidjan will next season, evolve in Ligue 2. Because in the other meeting, the direct competitor, ASI of Abengourou, drew the necessary draw against FC San Pedro.

Africa Sports had already complicated its situation by losing (3-1) to US Bassam, another direct opponent on the 13th day of the championship

A difficult week for the angry supporters to bear. Mythical and historic club which made the heyday of local football in Côte d’Ivoire, Africa Sports is plagued by internal disputes with two presidents, who are fighting over the management of the Club.

It was at the end of last April that the normalization committee of the Ivorian Football Federation (CN-FIF) decided to put Africa sports of Abidjan under normalization to help this club to resolve the crisis it is going through.

With these multiple dissensions, the formation could not have results this season with only two victories during the 14 days and a last place in Pool A
