AFCON is more than football - it’s identity, pride, culture, and community 🌍⚽

Hosted by David Gyasi and Guvna B, this episode of AFCONnect dives into what it really means to grow up with national pride tied to football.

We’re joined by two powerful voices:

• Rosaline Elbay - Actress, producer and writer
• Sheyi Martins-Allen - Singer and Musician

Together, we explore how football, and the Africa Cup of Nations, shapes identity both on and off the pitch.

🔥 In this episode:

• Growing up supporting your national team at AFCON
• How football connects the diaspora to home
• Representing your country with pride as a fan and as a player
• Why AFCON still hits differently to any other tournament

🍚 And yes… we go there

The age-old debate returns:
Who really makes the best Jollof rice?
Nigeria? Ghana? Somewhere else entirely?
Strong opinions. Zero backing down.

🔮 Plus the usual:

• AFCON catch-up as the tournament moves deeper into the knockouts
• Big moments, talking points, and surprises
• Predictions, points, and bragging rights on the line

AFCONnect exists to celebrate African football properly - the stories, the culture, the joy, and the pride that come with it.
