Haller is The Hero of The AFCON 2023
Few stories move us as much as Haller's with his national team in the TotalEnergies AFCON 2023. He went from beating cancer to scoring the goal that gave Ivory Coast its third title in the history of the competition.
The Ivorian forward was diagnosed with cancer on June 18, 2023, while he was in his early months with Dortmund. Despite facing a very tough process that included two surgeries and four chemotherapy sessions that 'destroyed his body,' he managed to come back stronger than ever, thanks to the support of his family, friends, and his club, which welcomed him with open arms.
However, fate had a great surprise in store for Haller, as he starred in Ivory Coast's historic comeback, which began in the group stage, scoring the winning goal against one of the toughest opponents in the tournament, Osimhen's Nigeria.
Sebastien Haller was the jewel in the crown of Ivory Coast, a team that dared to dream and trusted in the squad, creating the perfect atmosphere to give us one of the most incredible editions of the AFCON.
