Afrika in Focus - Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Review. The best AFCON EVER!!

Send us Fan MailThis week's edition of Afrika in Focus reviews the just ended Afrikan Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast.By all accounts the football fiesta that was AFCON was a great success with more than 2 Billion people watching the event in more than 170 countries.  Added to this most of the stadia hosting the matches were sold out culminating in the final being sold out to a full capacity of 60,000 people in the Allasanne Quatarra Stadia in the capital Abidjan  to see the hosts Ivory Coast come from behind to beat Nigeria 2-1 to be crowned Kings of Afrika.We start by stating how well organized the event was and was a showpiece for not only Afrikan football but also demonstrating the ability of an Afrikan nation to stage a global continental event. We state that Afrikan football has come of age with the so called smaller teams going boot to boot with the so called bigger teams. Powerhouses Ghana, Egypt, Cameroon and Algeria ALL had early exits whilst hot favourites Morocco and Senegal failed to make the quarter finals.  Lesser teams like Equatorial Guinea, Cape Verde, South Africa, DR Congo and Mauritania surpassed expectations highlighting the fast improvement of the so called smaller teams.We explain how the refereeing, normally a bane in Afrikan football, was of the highest quality and that the VAR technology was used to great effect.From great goals to non stop action to the thrills and spills of the group stages, to late goals and to the fairy tale ending for the hosts, AFCON 23 was a tournament to savour and did the continent proud.  Sponsor a Ghanaian farmer: Grow For Me | Now everyone can farm and trade!Support the showDonate/Support the show:    https://www.buzzsprout.com/1793098/supportWe offer a consultation session for those who wish to relocate to Ghana , do business in Ghana , buy land, buying a property or even starting  business in Ghana.  We offer professional support tailored on your needs and wants. We provide valuable information that can assist you in your relocation like the Ghana card how/where to register your business.We can also signpost you to other agencies that can help in your relocation as well as business and investment opportunities.We charge a rate of US$30 for an hour's consultation or US$20 for a 30 minute consultation briefing. To book your consultation please email [email protected] on Youtube - just look for the Ghana/Afrika in Focus podcast on Youtube and click the notification bell so that every time I upload a new podcast it automatically comes to your feed. Tell your family and friends.
