CAF General Secretary, Mr. Véron Mosengo Omba, added his perspective on the magnitude of AFCON 2023. Anticipating an audience of approximately 1 billion people from over 90 countries, he dubbed it “Africa’s wake-up hour,” emphasizing the event’s unparalleled significance on the continent.

Omba acknowledged the profound impact of APSONIC’s venture into football sponsorship, emphasizing the call to unite passions, merge emotions, and create timeless memories.

He urged everyone to collectively become architects of this celebration, where victory is not confined to the field but extends to every step, on and off the playing ground.

“As the AFCON 2023 takes on a new dimension with APSONIC’s sponsorship, the collaboration promises a grand symphony where the power of sport and the passion for the road converge. It is an invitation for all to join in crafting a celebration that transcends boundaries and makes every moment memorable in the history of African sports,” he said.
