San Pedro-based club San Pedro FC has been crowned the champions of the 2023-24 Ivory Coast Ligue 1 after securing a 1-1 draw against Sporting Gagnoa on Saturday. Guy Bedi’s 72nd-minute penalty cancelled out Sporting Gagnoa’s 10th-minute.
It’s their first league title in their 20-year history. San Pedro won the title with two games to spare after playing 28 games. The champions have won 55 points, 7 more than second-placed team Asec Mimosa. An impressive 46 goals have been scored and 27 have been conceded.
The Ligue 1 title is San Pedro’s second title ever in their history after winning the 2019 Cote d’Ivoire Cup.
