On Tuesday, August 8, 2023, Ivory Coast’s Elephants goalkeeper, Sylvain Gbohouo, signed a contract with Stade d’Abidjan, a club in the Ivorian Ligue 1.
According to our information, on Tuesday, August 8, 2023, the 2015 African champion with the Elephants signed a one-year contract with the Yéyés. Discussing his situation in October 2022, the national coach, Jean-Louis Gasset, gave Sylvain Gbohouo a chance to find a club after his 18-month suspension.
A few weeks before the start of the 33rd edition of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2021) held in Cameroon, Sylvain Gbohouo, the former Ivory Coast Elephants goalkeeper, had tested positive in a doping test in January 2022. As a result, he was suspended for 18 months.
By returning to Stade d’Abidjan, Sylvain Gbohouo aims to convince coach Jean-Louis Gasset to include him in the Elephants squad for AFCON 2023, which will take place from January 13 to February 11, 2024, in Ivory Coast. It’s a challenge that might seem destined to fail but could still hold some potential.
