Excellent reception, one of several frequencies now - this is best here. French service.
This is very interesting. It is live coverage of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) soccer tournament hosted by Côte d'Ivoire. Think of this competition as a World Cup for just African nations (other continents do likewise, Asia also at the moment). It looks like RFI has picked up coverage as many of Africa's best squads are West African Francophone nations (former colonies) - Cameroon, Algeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, Algeria, Mali, Tunisia, Guinea, Equatorial Guinea, and others.
Thinking about it, RFI still owes me a QSL for a reception report on their 2022 World Cup coverage. :-\
1820 2 OM in play by play coverage, from Stade Charles Konan Banny de Yamoussoukro, of Cameroon-Guinea match. Match tied at 1 at the moment.
1903 Match ends, 1-1.
Curious to see if they will cover Angola/Algeria at 2000 utc.
