2021 has been a year to remember for sports fans around the world. The Euro 2020 and the COPA América were the first two big international sports competitions to make a comeback and sports fans were relishing the action. The Italians who are still unbeaten after 34 matches in their longest winning streak went on to lift the title under coach Roberto Mancini. It was Lionel Messi’s time in the COPA América as Argentina went on to win the trophy which finally gave Messi the cup that has always eluded him. The striker recently signed with Paris Saint-Germain in what must be the biggest signing of the season after having spent his whole career at Barcelona. The summer Olympics which was hosted in Tokyo was another massive sporting event that had viewers from around the globe glued to their screens and Africa did very well in the games under the tough conditions. The Tour de France was another big event that saw the Slovenian Tadej Pogačar riding away with a yellow jacket and his second title of the most coveted cycling event in the world.

It’s all systems go as European football leagues finally gets underway for the start of the new season. The English Premier League and the Spanish La Liga are both already into their 3rd week out of 38 and although teams are still getting into the season there are already some teams that are looking to cement their spot at the top of the log.
2021 has also been a good year for football in Africa, the CAF Champions League which is made up of teams that won their domestic leagues saw two giants of African football compete to lift the cup. Egypt’s Al Ahly took on South Africa’s Kaizer Chiefs on the 17th of July and the Egyptians won the game convincingly by beating the South Africans 3-0 at the final whistle. January 2022 will bring African football fans all the action that they have been waiting for as the AFCON 2021 will finally kick-off. The tournament was originally supposed to be played in 2020 and then moved to 2021 but has now been scheduled to be played in 2022 in Cameroon.
