Last Friday, the Citi Sports team premiered their new African football show called FC Africa.
After its airing, one text message described the show as “very similar to the BBC Fast Track show of yesteryear.”
The description was apt, as – like that show which is now defunct – FC Africa aims to bring African football to the doorsteps of listeners around the world.
FC Africa is a groundbreaking collaboration between Citi FM and Supersport.com, Africa’s biggest football website.
As is the tradition with Citi Sports programs, the show will be available online for listening and download, as a podcast. The show’s first airing was for just under 50 minutes and featured reports and reaction from Nigeria, Ethiopia, the USA, and the UK, with stories also from Zambia and Uganda.
