This week on Ufahamu Africa, we commemorate the 60th anniversary of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON). We talk about football, politics, and more with Dr. Peter Alegi (aka @futbolprof), a professor of history at Michigan State University, and writer of the book on African football, African Soccerscapes.
We thank Maia Majumder for the exit music this week.
