Title on the Line: Stade d'Abidjan Need Victory Over Zoman FC to Secure Ligue 1 Crown

Stade d’Abidjan, currently leading the Ligue 1 of Côte d'Ivoire with 56 points, will travel this Sunday, May 11, to the Robert Champroux stadium to face Zoman FC, who sit 10th with 34 points.

The match, part of the 29th round of the competition, could see the Yéyés crowned champions.

A Title Within Reach

A victory for Stade d’Abidjan, combined with a slip-up from either ASEC Mimosas (2nd, 53 pts) or AFAD du Plateau (3rd, 52 pts), would secure the Ivorian championship for the Yéyés in this round.

ASEC will face Bouaké FC (8th, 36 pts), while AFAD will take on SOL FC (12th, 32 pts). This scenario could deliver Kouadio Koffi's men their first title in decades.

Remarkable Season Under Kouadio Koffi

Under the leadership of coach Kouadio Koffi, Stade d’Abidjan has enjoyed a standout season, amassing 17 wins, 5 draws, and 6 defeats from 28 Ligue 1 matches.

The club has shown both defensive stability and attacking effectiveness, as evidenced by their goal differential of +17 (41 goals achieved, 24 goals given up). A victory this weekend would end a 55-year drought and return Stade d'Abidjan to the height of Ivorian football, where the team last won a championship in 1969.
