The African Cup of Nations Tournament will be available for broadcast on one of these streaming services soon after scheduling delay. I don't watch soccer consistently enough to care. However, I think it is very impressive to hear or see the most talented athletes in the European Champions League come back and play for their native countries, furthermore finding out AFCON was able to strike a deal with FIBA. I hope this is a wonderful opportunity to for them to elevate the broadcast and tourist cash flow amit the current conditions. I more excited to see the different stadiums and local cities and communities around them, similar to the NFL, NBA, HBCU or NCAA structures. Links below if you get curious about the schedule.

I need to check this out, never heard of it. Who are the countries to look out for?
Senegal, Cameroon and Ivory Coast typically have the most consistently good teams...lately Nigeria has been good. Even Morocco has been putting in work. Sadly, some of the best African players play for France. That's why they won the World Cup last go round.

    Cameroon has been decent for quite awhile too. Africans playing in France is like Black players picking any other school other than an HBCU.

    You can try some streaming websites which shows the match although it may be illegal but their are some legit ones which shows free but little delayed to original matches.

    I like Gambia, and after watching the Nigeria v. Tunisia match, I highly suspect a thrown based on the amount of possessions, hooked shots, and valuable talent on the field. The boobleheads threw that shit and I was rooting for them lol.
    Yes I was disappointed to see Nigeria knocked out means two big team is now out or ACN. So now Egypt and Senegal is favorite for me to win this year cup.

    Who is your one?

    Yes and both wants to win this cup defiantly as they won titles together and I think this will be things to be added in their medals. I think we might see Penalty in final if it happens. What do you think?
    If Egypt really make it to the finals i think they'll take it.

    Yes you're right every time we seen good coverage for European Cups and Southern American big cups but when AFC happens hardly we see exciting news in mainstream idea.
    Actually, between here and African Diaspora News Channel, is the best coverage because is by us and for us, we showed seedings, the grouping table, our favorites, how it can be viewed and the end result. Those sites do not have our best interest in mind so of course they wouldn't give another of coverage.

    I was doing a search for something else and came upon this thread. Let me say, I'd love to see this event. A 'primarily' black competition. However, what I do lack is any respect for the African countries of playing nice nice with northern African arab countries who are literally enslaving the sub Saharan black migrants. There are videos and pictures of blacks literally being auctioned off. The reason they give? They couldn't pay back the fee to bring them to Europe or whatever. And they are 'working off' the debt. It's bullshit, its outright slavery. So, my question is why the f*ck are countries who have many of their own citizens enslaved having soccer games with that country?
