a continent wide party kicks off on june 21st that's right it's the start of the africa cup of nations. as if. it's below the superstar. before it's not a game of life and death is much more. it's about deciding the best footballing nation in africa there will be this time around maybe egypt will benefit from playing on home turf plus that proven winners in this tournament right chris. berrow are the records she behaves with simply didn't come full maybe he'll be defending champs cameroon the balls of course. how about nigeria who last lifted the title 6 years back. for his life ever. failed and you need to know about the africa cup of may. kickoff life.

let's talk about this years after. the 90 africa cup of nations. big your limits ever being. 24 teams playing for the same prize this time it's a summertime kickoff and the fans like always excited for the tournaments it's feel . your passport hope so we're going to africa to talk to experts and football foodies to see who they have their eyes or. they'll come to the party on this time we don't know when it's in egypt they're still him let's be real whoa it's not the best looking statue of most forgiving him playing no for ever humble the goal celebrations are crazy you don't want to miss and. it's coming.

here are my 3 reasons you better not miss the 2019 africa cup of nations raisin 3. a cup itself is coming home to egypt the pharos are the record she ambience with 7 cups to their name. hosted 4 previous cups and the pharaohs won 3 that's a 75 percent winning percentage their last victory was in 2006 egypt wasn't even supposed to host this year cameroon was but they couldn't get things going fast enough so with hosting rights in egypt at home means the chance to see home field advantage in the advantage will be few. to. good turds painting you like goals right. the

african cup of nations is the best goal celebrations ever. more goals were scored in the last africa in the last gold cup other tournaments might have scored more but there is a big difference here at the after. every goal gives you moments like these. piaf caught historial football fanatics for over 16 years always dressed in firing colors to different cultures will surely be something to see and listen to. now before i get to the number one reason you better not miss the africa cup of nations here some that didn't quite make the list recent afghan winners are jinxed

2013 winners nigeria failed to qualify in 2015 the ivory coast one in 2015 then got booted out of the group stage 2 years later the last winter cameroon almost didn't qualify this time that was close anybody could win and i mean anybody more than a handful of this year's qualify femurs have won it some more times combining for a total of 19 cups. and if you know not magic touch would make another good reason to watch the african cup he won in 2012 with zambia then in 2015 with the ivory coast suv years later he fell short with morocco only reaching the quarter finals were not magic be seen again with morocco. reason one it will be a star studded event ok the biggest stars of them all moba. we really missed out on see in him on the world stage he is for his country

at the last major tournament. thanks to this guy secure gio ramos the enforcer hurt silva shoulder before the world cup well sol is back and he's looking forward to playing at home and defeating his liverpool team mate sabio my mate. oh team mates turned rival. there's also the 2016th african player of the year algeria is riad maurice sadly will miss out. here emery obama beyond the star will miss the party didn't qualify so we have stars all over the world meeting in egypt to see one thing who will shine the brightest. before i let you go let's go back to africa to talk to more experts

queasy sports in south africa football foodies who will win it all. might come as a shock but i genuinely believe that could could do it could pull it off. you know it all has. a solid team from when they went to the world cup and even how they qualified for this i think a couple nations may need this is that time to claim that. in the continent. i think senegal wouldn't be. 21000 if i look at the. vivid i'd like you know to have progressed out of the group stages i think these come out and if i look at the quality that is there you look at the local course that is also good that understands how to play i threw them quite a good chunk this time around. and lift up the 21000. so you've got 3 reasons you better not miss the night africa.

what about the reigning champion we sat down with cameroon captain defensive. tawdry to find out if a repeat is on because. africa combination is the most important sporting events in africa this summer. my colleague david dodge week for the tournament is the africa cup the consonants given. to them the clash. on the belief. in the.

hans he sees i'm a young. boy . michael and sort of. africa cup of nations played favorites egypt she won 27 seems quite. sensitive even though you have to pull more to pull but also if you prefer the more i. think a natural mob. was i was more particular almost. if you know.

that i knew was. city if. any should be able to use you know when to laugh and you approve a ok gotta do something. else and i don't mind going to most i won't be usual to use who can you call you names that is on this is. a day to day living day of my you know all these awful lot of desoto called death because. he was ok you may even have high school empathy it's a way to do that much it on everybody has you covered with sons it was i was a total called me. my kids played for historic club slobby approximates 2016. he left. he initially came to germany to study civil engineering from michigan spring not a picture of us everything is on. the muschamp a good looking i picked out

a. home by saying i'm going. to a game before it's easy the answer if i make has a long. atheism issue really got him on the supercritical up like is he. was a vegetarian lot of my kids sure do i see every so mom can i do godly cookies are 7 years old you can my book will be a big a long. strips if your mother. a woman how much he big day while is a surgical intervention since i read. the quote my son the moment came for sure kaushik basu able to get us because you know when you're going to marry the prince he had a long history of doing. so to see him on the team for quite a bit off what i think could do it i mean that's you know he could you provide you know complete b.s. your record that i hear about levy. probably you say oh my boss yes on 1000

so my posse on your own began she was on twitter for monsieur move on paul. today paul martin is going off from fabulous jeanette. shots will be going to marry sure to. just to make you see him every day of the machine so i keep plenty of. him along but i do ne jame se persuasions you do if you want to screw let their message with a let me have you. she teams are misusing the ticket they love the money it was old recruits to. 5 tards might cameroon 2nd most successful team in the top of it behind egypt. so wait 15 years for their having lost 50 trophy in 2200 german coach we should. be full force they called me in their new release you come on also if you like i'm on your side of the economy or suffer the me because i don't look up when i say hey

come back. on you know i'm going to. make. me go and i want to go on a complete shock. people can make all kinds of movie quite young don't count on i going yes or no. so in this the most republican. party who saw him play him come on i have a super fairly. big deal. before. i do so so so so. so then turn to food poor come when i succumb to mr smith say to sort this survey and you can maybe don't want so much of course it. may go say a. 600 students once you know cameroon was replaced by the finnish stadium some pool infrastructure. moves if. you for who

is on the move this book to us you can call up a victim of a day. to day from one of the teeth. to. make a little miss you want to go to my. room but you want i want all day for a moment let's eat who. told us because of all of that plus your r.v. . i make the long. haul the biggest competitors morse you devious you can if i ever read she doing a double headers you could be all that. she doing a hey anderson i gotta let me do . that if you like using she don't have any luck would you walk. upon by adam i hope that your music. your music. you know and then you come up when they go home. with 24 teams the 29 team 12 months is the biggest in

history but what's the state's about african football so in the morning for you you will get to live more. on the. i mean. i'm on the on the. on the. on the cover. of this so they keep. saying. i mean you hear. me. i think we. can.

do is he's trying to. go off to nigeria a nation that has its share of challenges. tradition just how good all the. security most populated country in the world can. start judy gold africa's largest producer. of this tragedy place of africa's richest. there is it every. day the army fighting. corruption it's been called the cancer they're fighting the.

ball is life. ever standstill football is not a game of life and. it is much more. sit down with the nigerian legend and the sports journalist in lego. all shaking up the grass roots we need to start from here and at the top level to see how nigerian football be shaping up football is a simple game but in nigeria football is far from simple. to learn more i'm starting with j.j. our coaching skills so nice they named him twice here's a flashback the best gold in 1993 goalkeeper the other germany's.

export of nigerian super eagles dream team coach i helped win olympic gold in 1996 insist. that he was in nigeria. president the pressure was on the next generation repeat. the super eagles most recent achievement was 6 years ago when they won the african cup of nations so why hasn't the national team continue to soar to new heights. well i think we have to change our mentality a bit you know and change all believed to be. limited ourselves. to trust in our talent you know talents are not good enough you know to get us to this result we need to be maybe what paul when it comes.

with managed to be successful in by just. continuity. and for me. you know if you don't plan for the future then you're planning to fail despite playing. nigeria. oh unbelievable talent who. came to the national team have. come to. the dream team a 2nd unit 23 just qualified for the final piece of the qualifiers to be the championships in africa talk to me about the state of nigerian football. from the national team perspective successful. because $21000.00 is

a year where you go to all the national teams competing and i mean it's an immense . respect if you want to say the fans are excited but then again when you talk about football and i just should be up on the lead. here's a glimpse of nigerians probably players times have gone months sometimes years without a piece out. this money will. even be diplomatic oh boy you know. you have to invest to be able to be successful when it comes when it comes to the local league think we're so good because. one of the issues is that most of the clubs belongs to government right know so people running clubs are not really the shows that you know so. they get every year from the government to run the club.

and not to write clubs no money no chance to show. so much talent and go play as you like to go watch. they don't have the opportunity to have their talent broadcast to the entire world but when it comes to local football it almost doesn't exist so when you go and look at the grass roots you see some pitches don't even have grass for boys. everything's. probably. we need to start from here you know draw agreed i spoke to nigeria's head coach on the phone. grassroots. very important especially phone nigeria. geria so many young people and they like so much the football they must have the put you need to play the former super he

goal turned academy coach. who explains the rundown pitch. trying to best what you have to. try to make the team. little to no resources this a get to be still produces prospects. you need and if it's time to grow. up to get up just one on one months too long. would see the time from the much is on your feet and i don't get a lot of. mistakes you. had the opportunity to play. for a very long. i was a spitting to see those emulating what they put in place. and this part of the war you know you can't play football without having

a good training pitch right now so we need the infrastructure of the government's reach as we've learned runs deep when it comes to football they owned a lion's share of pro teams as j.j. said the need for interest. structure you staring you right in the face so who is it words like corruption have been thrown out there you know lack of finances i mean from your perspective you have somewhat of a bird's eye view over the entire scenario so how would you. describe it you got to see the administration and most times we've got. people who are using the statement square pegs in round holes. so much talk about the sports minister for one and i'm going to use him as a scapegoat for my analogy. not one who many consider to be a technocrat well he's one favored by authority who hasn't done much hasn't caught himself in so much glory doesn't mean he doesn't like sports bar difference where

you have someone who's played the games. so what's the remedy better educated football administrators taking a page out of what's been successful in europe i don't think anything is cast in stone particularly because. many would agree but i still think we're a developing nation you can't compare even nigeria to the rest of africa and i make reference to south africa egypt how sports generally is run. far cry from what we do nigeria is a child's play. extremely professional have had opportunities to go and see and when you come back home you just you begin to wonder why do we do things differently and personally i think sometimes it's base or an ideology and how we think. sometimes nigerians are responsible for our problems. problems but what about solutions before i leave years. african nations.

we have a young team without any. very very great. but . i think out of the group. to go far. i only scratched the surface a solution that could lift the super eagles higher is far more complex than any interview. might take you to. the end of the you. so why not have been famous that it's needed you know to to go it would as i said at the start football is a simple game but the state of the sport is far from. does why people like us are coming back home you know where we. live or legacy where we can help on change things.
