This week's quiz: On 13 December, I asked you a question about Paul Myers' article “Nigeria power past Mozambique into quarterfinals at Africa Cup of Nations”. Nigeria had just beaten Mozambique 4 to 0. Paul noted in his article that the win was the biggest winning margin in a Cup of Nations knockout tie since the Africa Cup in 2010. And that was one of your questions: you were to tell me which countries played in the Africa Cup semi-finals in 2010, and who won that knockout tie by 4 to 0. The second question was: In the Nigeria/Mozambique match, what is the name of the Nigerian player who scored the fourth goal? The answer is, to quote Paul's article: “Akor Adams, fed by Lookman, thrashed in Nigeria's fourth goal 15 minutes from time to notch up the biggest winning margin in a Cup of Nations knockout tie since Egypt battered Algeria 4-0 in the semi-finals at the 2010 tournament in Angola.” So, Egypt/Algeria, and Akor Adams are the correct answers. In addition to the quiz question, there was the bonus question, suggested by RFI Listeners Club member Pradip Basak from West Bengal, India: “How do you deal with jealousy when your friend achieves something you secretly wished for?” Do you have a bonus question idea? Send it to us! The winners are: Amir Jameel, the president of the RFI Online Visitors Club in Sahiwal, Pakistan.  Amir is also the winner of this week's bonus question. Congratulations on your double win, Amir. Also on the list of lucky winners this week are Sharifun Islam Nitu, a member of the RFI Amour Fan Club in Rajshahi, Bangladesh, and Faheem Noor, the president of the WULO RFI Club in Nankana Sahib, Pakistan.

This week we take a look ahead to the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations, on next month in Morocco.Also we talk about African football history – how much of the continent's history has not been documented.We find out about a new book about Enyimba of Nigeria and their CAF Champions League triumphs in 2003 and 2004, from author and regular PSFA contributor Solace Chukwu.And we talk about the business of football and how the power of the club manager has diminished or been removed in the EPL.

Recently we had the Africa Cup of Nations with that absurd ending rescued by the grown up behaviour of Sadio Mane.  During the course of the competition we were constantly reminded of how much Mo Salah means to the people of Egypt.  However, Omid Djalili, Colin Shindler and Jon Holmes also look at the downside.  When Luis Suarez was sent off for biting for the third time in the 2014 World Cup after taking a mouthful from the shoulder of the Italy defender Georgio Chiellini – they wonder whether the people of Uruguay were sympathetic to the way Suarez' assuaged his hunger pains or whether they were properly embarrassed.  Football throws up heroes and villains on a regular basis.  How much impact do their actions have on the perception of their country?

In deze aflevering van CEO van mijn leven vertelt Meryem El Mandoudi, Belgische journalist die voor de liefde naar Nederland verhuisde, hoe ze van fan van Rudi Vranckx uitgroeide tot kritische stem in de mediasector. Van Karrewiet tot VTM Nieuws tot NOS op 3: Meryem werkte op de meest uiteenlopende redacties en zag van binnenuit hoe nieuws wordt gemaakt.Meryem legt uit waarom het woord "ontvoering" versus "gevangenneming" alles uitmaakt, hoe persbureaus en snelheid leiden tot onkritische berichtgeving, en waarom de Africa Cup een schoolvoorbeeld is van gemiste kansen door traditionele media. Ze deelt ook haar ervaring met online kritiek, van boze vaders over LGBTQ-content tot terechte vragen over Gaza-berichtgeving.Daarnaast gaat het gesprek over haar kinderboek over krullend haar, de voldoening van werken voor kinderen, en haar bewuste keuze om als freelancer 3 of 4 dagen per week te werken. Meryem onthult waarom financiële vrijheid voor haar betekent: minder werken en het wél graag blijven doen. Trends is een podcastkanaal van de redactie van Trends.

This discussion programme explores how the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) has become more than a football tournament, serving as a symbol of national unity, regional solidarity, and a platform for peace messaging. The episode examines the tensions and political reactions that emerge after the final whistle, revealing deeper dynamics of power, peace, and development across the continent. Through social media debates and public discourse, it interrogates questions of identity and belonging, highlighting how AFCON can unite, but also divide and stereotype in Africa.

Kate Adie introduces stories from Ukraine, Russia, France, Uganda and Morocco.As temperatures plummet in Ukraine, Russia is aggressively attacking the country's energy grid. Ukraine is heavily reliant on its nuclear power plants, which are also being targeted. There are concerns that without proper maintenance, it could trigger another nuclear disaster. Wyre Davies spoke to the head of Ukraine's nuclear authority.President Trump has claimed the threat posed by Russia and China is one of the reasons the US must acquire Greenland - but rather than antagonise the Kremlin, the pro-Kremlin Russian news service has been full of praise for the US president. Steve Rosenberg reports from Moscow.From South Korea to Western Europe, there's deep concern over falling birth rates – and it was one of the reasons behind France's decision a few years ago to amend its policy regarding egg-freezing for non-medical purposes, bringing it in line with other European countries. Carolyn Lamboley recounts her personal experience.1986 was the year Diego Maradona lifted the World Cup - and when Uganda's president Yoweri Museveni first came to power. Last week, the 81-year-old won his seventh consecutive term in office, Sammy Awami was in Kampala where he heard from young people about how they voted.The 2026 Africa Cup of Nations came to a close in Morocco last weekend and aside from missing the chance to lift the trophy for the first time in fifty years, the tournament proved controversial in Morocco due to the vast sums spent on it. Tim Hartley reflects on the discontent over prioritising sporting prestige over public services.Producer: Serena Tarling Production coordinators: Katie Morrison and Sophie Hill Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by David Walker and Nick Miller. On the agenda: the unifying absurdity that was the Africa Cup of Nations final, whether Spurs vs West Ham's "El Dissatisfactico" is the worst of its genre yet, an unexpected Premier League striker's name in a ghost story, the least satisfying FA Cup draw combinations, one Arsene Wenger tweak to the laws of football that might have some appeal, and footballing body language at bus stops.

fWotD Episode 3180: 2017 Africa Cup of Nations final Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 18 January 2026, is 2017 Africa Cup of Nations final.The 2017 Africa Cup of Nations final was an association football match to determine the winner of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). The match was held at the Stade de l'Amitié in Libreville, Gabon, on 5 February 2017 and was contested by Cameroon and Egypt. The sixteen teams who had qualified for the tournament were divided into four groups of four, with the top two from each group progressing to the knock-out phase. Cameroon finished as runners-up in Group A before defeating Senegal and Ghana in the quarter-final and semi-final, while Egypt reached for the final by first winning Group D and then beating Morocco and Burkina Faso.Egypt started the final strongly and took a 1–0 lead through Mohamed Elneny after 22 minutes. Cameroon had more possession than Egypt in the first half, but their attack lacked potency, and Egypt led at half time. The Egyptians made few attempts to attack in the second half, and Cameroon equalised after 59 minutes through Nicolas Nkoulou, who had come on as a substitute. Egypt were unable to adjust, and Cameroon continued to have the better chances, eventually scoring again two minutes before the end, through Vincent Aboubakar, to record a 2–1 win. The victory marked their fifth Africa Cup of Nations title. As winners, they represented CAF at the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia, but they did not progress beyond the group phase.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:56 UTC on Sunday, 18 January 2026.For the full current version of the article, see 2017 Africa Cup of Nations final on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Emma.

The government of Myanmar has begun its defence at the International Court of Justice against charges that it committed a genocide of the Rohingya people.

Hosts Morocco face Senegal in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final on Sunday. At this AFCON almost 40% of players were born outside Africa, like the face of the tournament Ashraf Hakimi.So where should teams be putting their money - improving recruitment from the diaspora or investing more at home? What needs to change to attract these players? And can Sadio Mane and Senegal stop the powerhouse of Morocco from winning their first AFCON in 50 years?Gabby and Mark are joined by former Premier League defender and Sierra Leone captain, Steven Caulker, and The Athletic's Jay Harris.Plus, we look back at the best bits of The Sports Agents this week, from the civil war in golf after Brooks Koepka's departure, to the unbelievable story of Macclesfield's rise from the ashes to pull off the greatest FA Cup upset ever against holders Crystal Palace.

It may have made sense on paper but in the end, Xabi Alonso was just not the right fit at Real Madrid. How much of it was his fault and how much of it were just the pitfalls of trying to coach a squad loaded with massive egos? Then, we'll get into Manchester United's decision to hire Michael Carrick as their head coach for the remainder of the season. He may be a familiar face but is he the right face? We'll discuss.Plus, Semenyo and Cherki lead City to a first leg win over Newcastle while Arsenal manage to overcome the "Aging Men" of Liam Rosenior's Chelsea in their first leg.And finally, Timo Werner is coming to MLS, Conor Gallagher is headed to Spurs and the Africa Cup of Nations has a final that will hopefully be better than the two semis.For even more Caught Offside content, get on over to Caught Offside Plus right now!
