A public holiday has been declared to mark the victory against host Cote d'Ivoire in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Equatorial Guinea President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbatsogo has declared Tuesday January 23rd 2024 as a public holiday to celebrate the 4-0 victory of the national team against star-studded Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) 2023 host Cote d’Ivoire on Monday.

The Nzalang Nacional stunned the football world with an exhilarating performance thrashing the Elephants in the last Group A game played at the Alassane Ouattara Olympic Stadium in Ebimpe in Abidjan as lowly ranked teams continue to cause upsets at the continental tournament.

Besides declaring a public holiday to celebrate the victory, President Obiang Nguema who watched the game from his Palacio Presidencial de Malabo (the State House), also offered the team a €1 million special bonus for the match.
