\u201cWe are excited to be working with Citi FM, whose appeal outside of their native Ghana is well known. The aim of FC Africa is to have a football show that is typically African, but refreshingly global in its outlook,\u201d said Supersport.com Africa Football Manager Emeka Enyadike.<\/p>\n

\u201cCiti 97.3 FM is highly pleased about the potential of this historic partnership between a fast growing radio brand and Africa’s largest pay-tv sport brand, SuperSport.\u201d<\/p>\n
He went on: \u201cFC Africa is another step towards the fulfillment of the dream of African integration, where soccer fans from Cairo to Cape Town can enjoy first hand information and news on their favorite African stars and teams.<\/p>\n
\u201cCiti FM is particularly pleased that after securing the rights to the Barclays English Premiership, we have added this scoop, to further enrich our sports offering to our vibrant audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n
The show will be presented by Gary Al-Smith, Citi FM\u2019s head of sport who also doubles as the online editor for Supersport.com in Ghana. It will be produced by Nathan Quao.<\/p>\n
