Sports

Rep. of Congo was chosen by the African Union to host the eleventh edition of the African games, which will start from the 4th to the 19th of September 2015 in the capital city of Brazzaville. About 15 000 athletes, officials and journalists from 54 African countries will be in Brazzaville. The athletes will participate in 22 sporting disciplines during this event and there will be scientific and cultural activities. A Youth Camp is scheduled as part and parcel of that celebration of the 50th anniversary of these Games since 1965 when it was first host in the same city of Brazzaville. The new and modern sports infrastructures have been built in Kintele, suburb of Northern Brazzaville. The Congolese government invested more than CFA 400 billion in order to host these Games. Some other infrastructures have also been restored such as Ornano Stadium, the complex Omni sport of Ouenze, University and Sports Center of Makelekele Massamba Debat Stadium where the first edition of African Games took place. We are expecting every day 80 000 supporters in different venues and it seems that this event will be followed by 200 000 000 TV viewers. In terms of communication, a special building has been built just for media at the sport complex in Kintele. In this centre, there are 40 offices for the media and two studios for recording. Most of competitions of the 11th African Games will be taking place at the sport Complex of Kintele. The opening and closing ceremonies will be held respectively on September 4th and 19th 2015.
