News about Hicham Boudaoui

AFCON is finally here, following months of rumors over which players will be ruled out of club action for up to four weeks. Following the most recent round of play, the continental tournament will take place from January 13 to February 11, with players having to join their national teams. This year's edition of the Ivory Coast will be held in Senegal, with Senegal as the reigning champions after defeating Egypt on penalties in the 2021 tournament (which took place in 2002).

Galtier is accused of making remarks about his former teammates' having "too many black and Muslim players" in a leaked email obtained by French football reporter Romain Molina. The email was sent by Nice's former football manager Julien Fournier, but Molina denies this. Nice-Matin, a local French media company, says the 56-year-old asked Muslim players not to observe Ramadan during a five-game winning streak. Hicham Boudaoui and Jean-Clair Todibo denied the request, as they revealed that out of the players asked by Galtier, some accepted, some refused, and others refused.
