The Ivory Coast vs Guinea-Bissau at AFCON 2023 will be free on BBC iPlayer in the UK streaming free on the New World TV website and app in Sub-Saharan Africa. It's on beIN Sports in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Away from home? You can use a VPN to unblock your stream from anywhere. Full details on how to watch the Ivory Coast vs Guinea-Bissau live stream, wherever you are, continue below.


Ivory Coast vs Guinea-Bissau: preview

Given the level of talent Ivory Coast have enjoyed over the past couple of decades – from Didier Drogba to the Toures – it's surprising that the Elephants only count two Africa Cup of Nations titles in their trophy room.

Hosts for the 2023 jamboree, the Ivorians will hope 70-year-old French boss Jean-Louis Gasset – one-time assistant to Laurent Blanc for Les Bleus – can knit together a squad led by Borussia Dortmund forward Sebastien Haller, recently recovered from cancer diagnosis. Throw in Brighton winger Simon Adingra, plus Wily Boly and Serge Aurier in defence and the hosts will hope to start with a bang.

Guinea-Bissau have never made it beyond the group stage of AFCON, or even won a match in the finals, but there could be no better stage for Baciro Cande's side to upset the apple cart than by beating the hosts in the tournament's opening night. Nicknamed the Djurtus after the hunting dog native to the country, they can count on Bolton forward Carlos Mendes Gomes, who recently declared for the nation, with teenager Franculino Dju highly rated by Danish side Midtjylland.

In this guide, we explain how to get an Ivory Coast vs Guinea-Bissau live stream and watch the Africa Cup of Nations 2023, with the help of a VPN if you're away traveling at the moment.
