@benbalor22@johnallannamu The lowly leagues are ideal because the level of scrutiny at the international level is between very poor to near non-existent.
The real money is the huge bets placed by the match-fixers from places far away from where the matches take place.
@Silvakidole@RealMamadouGaye I could not have been more blunt.
AFCON 2027 countries should listen and ensure an excellent tournament. Railway connections to "all cities" will not happen. However, the quality of Stadia, training pitches, and public transport between hotels and venues will be paramount.
@worldrugbymedia Rugby Africa Cup, doubling up as a qualifier for RWC 2017, is on-going in Uganda.
Neither the fixtures nor latest results feature on the WR website. Shame!
@RugbyAfrique
@worldrugbymedia I am in Kenya. The World Rugby timings displayed using "My time" feature are one hour ahead of actual kick-off for matches to be played on 12 July 2025 in Fiji, New Zealand, Australia & South Africa.
European and South American fixtures are correct. Adjust.
@WorldRugby HSBC Challenger Series: Website has fixtures and matches but no ranking tables or dedicated page for format and rules. Kindly advise.

13:34: Passengers asked to switch off their mobile phones - to allow for refuelling of plane.
Passengers have been on the plane for more than three & a half hours after boarding.
Contact post-fuelling, yet to be established.
13:59: Finally, on the approach to the runway
14:10 Take-off
Delays can occur on any business, but proper communication is key in maintaining customer confidence.
This is a classic case of poor to non-existent communication - a PR disaster.
12:45: Pilot announces a power shutdown is imminent and shut off engines. No external as generator connected so passengers on runway with no air-conditioning
13:10: Engines reignited. No announcements made for over 20 minutes.

I note that the FOCUS ON AFRICA programme's evening slot shifts in tandem with UK's change of clock times. Should it, and others, not be anchored on the fixed times of Africa?

@citizentvkenya@TrevorOmbija There are restrictions for industries like @Shabiki_Ke, from advertising, promoting, or sponsoring events targeting under-18s for obvious reasons. The youth in the featured event were 7-11 year-olds. I stand corrected. @SDY_Ke@kipmurkomen
@MKRS_KS@citizentvkenya has carried a news item where betting platform, @Shabiki_K, has sponsored a youth football event for 7-11 year-olds.
I believe there are restrictions on such activities by industries whose target market is adults only. I stand corrected.

@FabrizioRomano Enter the Premier League in the early 90s and the balance of power shifted slowly at first, but by the early naughties, it was attracting a large chunk of the top talent.
The Saudi League is work in progress. Ronald Koeman may yet regret his words.
@FabrizioRomano In the 80s to mid 90s, top-flight managers in the English League Div1 thought it was the best Europe. The movement of the best players in Europe told another story. Most ended up in what neutral observers considered the best league of the day, Seria A.
