In Côte d’Ivoire, Sous-préfet Essoi Lambert Henock of Duffrébo established the Club Maracana to improve social cohesion among residents of the Indénié-Djuablin region.
Henock created the club after observing a lack of opportunities for people to meet and build relationships. The club officially began activities on October 10 with a match between two teams, Yellow and White versus Blue and White, which Yellow and White won 2 to 1.
The sous-préfet worked with local leaders, teacher Koffi Mathurin, forest commander Captain Ouattara Serge, and village chief Nanan Konogo-Ndri II to use sport as a way to bring people together. The Club Maracana aims to promote peace and a sense of community within the Agni-Abbey community. Organizers plan to hold regular events so people can get to know each other, build solidarity, and overcome social and professional differences.
