  • 13.12.2007: The Ivory Coast football federation (FIF) on Thursday denied a squad announcement for next month's African Nations Cup which has been published by the international press. "Neither the FIF nor any top team officials have published a pre-squad contrary to what has appeared in the national and international press," the federation announced. The FIF said they would be announcing a 50-man pre-squad next week before an official 23-man final squad will be sent to the African Football Confederation by January 10 at the latest.

  • Newcastle striker, Obafemi Martins said he will not lose sleep over the African Cup of Nations; rather his priority is to leave the club on top position before he departs in January.
