Another Africa Cup of Nations concludes, and once again, I am reminded why our continent’s football is the soul of the global game. Morocco 2025 was a masterclass in drama, growth, and the sheer unpredictability that makes AFCON the most vibrant tournament on earth.
From the commentary booth, I watched history unfold. We saw the grit of Sudan, playing through tragedy to push champions to the limit and play with so much heart.
We saw the rise of Tanzania and Mozambique and the birth of young superstars like 20 year old Mamadou Sarr and 21 year old Antoine Mendy of Senegal etc and every moment reminded me why I fell in love with this game since i could walk.
The Final was a spectacle of the highest order. To see Senegal and Morocco—Africa’s top-ranked sides—battle with such intensity was a privilege. Senegal’s victory was not just a win; it was the cementing of a "Golden Generation." Breaking Morocco’s 26-match unbeaten run in their own backyard takes more than skill—it takes the heart of a champion. My congratulations to the Teranga Lions on their second star in four editions. A true legacy defined.
On a personal note, transitioning from the pitch to the booth is a journey of responsibility. To provide the tactical analysis for 10 matches across 2 cities was an honor I do not take lightly.
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to my lead commentator and "partner in crime" Duane Dell'Oca. A total professional and i learnt so many tricks working besides this man! We shared booths, New Year’s Eve, and endless late-night football and telephone debates. Thank you for the chemistry that made every broadcast special,the laughs and making it so much fun.
Thanks also to my Senegalese French connection, Aboubacry Ba and Alassan who brought French commentary to you all, fun guys,hardworking and ever trying to give quality output to viewers.
My thanks also to the CAF broadcast leadership Siphiwe Fidel, for their trust and for providing the platform to serve the African game once again.
AFCON Morocco 2025 was unpredictable, emotional, and at times chaotic—exactly as African football should be. It has been my greatest honor to help bring these stories to your homes.
Until the next kick.
