favorites egypt with the home advantage they'll enjoy full backing from the stands and posed a confident star player mohammed salada the liverpool forward enjoyed another astounding season on merseyside coming agonizingly close to winning the premier league before being crowned a european champion in june salaries goals often make the difference in an otherwise solid egypt team who have won the africa cup of nations a record 7 times. have the fending champions are cameroon and the lions will be a tough act to beat this time as well they surprised many by winning 2 years ago and will be hoping to raise a few eyebrows again originally chosen to host the tournament but was stripped of the honor due to a lack of organization and egypt stepped in to replace them cameroon boast a well drilled defense centered around captain michael engage do in dodgy i. going

there to defend our crown with all due respect to the competition i believe our passion will help us achieve our goals. nigeria are always among the favorites when it comes to the africa cup of nations it's the most populous country on the continent with a constant stream of young talent and a rich footballing history experience german coach going out rule has been the man in charge for the past 3 years and has vastly improve the sites tactical approach and have to have this quality and so let's let's go visit offered some spirit to this of course we want to win our games. competition promises to be sky high as $24.00 teams bid to get their hands on the ultimate price the africa cup of nations . all right so chris harrington is here to talk all things after call on hey chris good to have you here all right so the 1st game pitts is involved way with egypt

how do you think that's going to go big you know i hate to do it to you i think it would be a landslide victory for egypt you mentioned already that the record champions they are hosting extra motivation i mean they have their talents man their masonic figure and most solid you know and they didn't lose any of the qualifying matches a very good professional league as well now zimbabwe you know in their group they've done well against the other teams uganda and d.r. congo but i do think they'll have to punch above their weight we did have a chance to catch up with the warriors head coach and this is what he had to say about the big competition ahead oh i thing we're very experienced players and i want to. as for the atmosphere. i think we've played out of the semi-pros here in geography and in congo brazzaville they're quite used to this kind of fighting this year and i guess will be it when i. play them no more football and produce a reasonable good result for the nation ok so we'd know were installed for some

good football here i think everybody agrees on that and i just wonder if you have all these legends like mossad on the continent who go on to play and european he said add value to the teams why is it that when african teams are playing in the world cup for example be some 100 match ups. well i think it really comes down to money invested in infrastructure you could look at germany you know for example they've invested over a 1000000000 euros in their youth infrastructure you know big countries the most populated country nigeria use that as a comparison because i did spend time there their infrastructure is basically bare and you know it runs dry and their national team is basically composed of players that are talented enough to play abroad in by hone their skills and so forth not a lot of money is put forward into you know the infrastructure and specifically the domestic league with did nigeria i caught up with a super eagle legend j.j. a coach and he touched on the issues that basically are keeping you know the

football situation a step behind in the country. when it comes to the local league think was to have a long way to go to be cursed. one of the issues is that most of the clovers belongs to government right you know so people running the clubs are not really on the shows and now you know so they rely on the board that they get every year from the government a lot of people in nigeria envying you right now for getting that gravity but let's let's talk about the action that will be off the pitch in this tournament i mean at the end of the day afghan is taking place in a country that people are warning its governmental authorities of violating human rights what are we likely to see off the pitch during this time well i think off the pitch a lot of people will take this opportunity to shine the light on certain issues that otherwise wouldn't get the attention i mean you know and one thing that's come out in criticizing what has been happening recently in egypt and is the internationalist criticize you know the government for arresting several football

fans associated associating them with terror organizations and so forth but they're really charged with a crime you know so i'm thinking that's used as a deterrent but i'm sure people will you know try to hurdle over that and still try to get their voices heard in terms of the equal rights issues that exist in the country right right ok chris so it's a back to the tournament itself we know what are the favorites and i'm just wondering who you've got your money on you know this is one of the beautiful things about the f.a. cup of nations you know several teams competing in 24 teams big biggest and it's ever been have won it you know it comes out to obviously upsets in the lion's share i mean are 4 teams that i'll go with the game rocco yeah you know egypt sinegal in the team that was featured in the report nigeria but upsets can happen but wait until you know chimps some of the fat frog really pick the winner ok and save always not on that list of but nonetheless chris you can come back next time i have you on the program all right chris that said thank you chief of bats and you know

what let's hear from the egypt captain that the beat mohamedi. sees me i should say on the importance of you guessed it most. i was one of the 3 best players in the world this is a huge deal for the country and for the egyptian team. being on any team will make it better and be a great addition everyone's looking forward to his performance so this is a positive thing and the great addition for the egyptian team. players won but having solid where this is a positive thing and then important thing for us as a team and as players. our next story is in western uganda way a recent trend of using condoms and conventional medical workers and local authorities uganda's government like many others distributes free condoms to fight the spread of hiv aids and the sexually transmitted infections but salt mine is
