Le développement du cricket en Côte d’Ivoire : Stratégies et projets en cours
The Current State of Cricket in Ivory Coast
Cricket is not a sport that is commonly associated with Ivory Coast. Despite this, there is a growing interest in the sport, and several initiatives are underway to develop cricket in the country.
Currently, cricket in Ivory Coast is still in its infancy. There are only a few established clubs, and most of the players are expats or people of Indian origin who have brought the sport with them. However, there is a growing interest in the sport among young Ivorians, and several initiatives are underway to develop the sport further.
Strategies and Projects for Developing Cricket in Ivory Coast
There are several strategies and projects underway to develop cricket in Ivory Coast. One of the most significant projects is the construction of the first international-standard cricket ground in the country. The ground will be built in Abidjan, and it is expected to be completed by 2023. Once completed, the ground will be able to host international matches, which will help raise the profile of the sport in the country.
In addition to the construction of the cricket ground, there are also plans to introduce cricket into schools. Several schools have already started offering cricket as an extracurricular activity, and there are plans to expand this initiative further. The aim is to introduce cricket to as many young Ivorians as possible, with the hope that some of them will go on to represent the country at an international level.
Another strategy for developing cricket in Ivory Coast is to increase the number of local coaches and umpires. Currently, there are very few qualified coaches and umpires in the country, which makes it difficult to develop the sport further. However, several initiatives are underway to train more local coaches and umpires, which will help to raise the standard of cricket in the country.
The Role of International Organizations in Developing Cricket in Ivory Coast
International organizations have also played a significant role in developing cricket in Ivory Coast. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has been instrumental in supporting the development of the sport in the country. In 2019, the ICC launched the Africa Cricket Association Development Programme, which aims to support the development of cricket across the African continent, including Ivory Coast.
The West African Cricket Council (WACC) has also been active in promoting cricket in Ivory Coast. The WACC is a regional cricket body that was established to promote the sport in West Africa. The organization has been working closely with the Ivorian cricket authorities to develop the sport in the country.
Conclusion
In conclusion, cricket is a sport that is still in its infancy in Ivory Coast. However, there is a growing interest in the sport, and several initiatives are underway to develop it further. The construction of the first international-standard cricket ground in the country, the introduction of cricket into schools, and the training of more local coaches and umpires are all key strategies for developing cricket in Ivory Coast. With the support of international organizations such as the ICC and the WACC, there is hope that cricket will continue to grow in popularity in Ivory Coast.
