High ambitions for the Games of La Francophonie:
Burkina Faso’s head of mission, Kanou Nadounke, expresses great ambitions for his delegation during these games. It announces a strong participation in sports and cultural disciplines, with the objective of achieving an honorable performance and returning home with a positive mention. This statement shows the commitment and determination of the athletes and artists present in Kinshasa.
Kinshasa, optimistic despite withdrawals:
Despite the withdrawals of some delegations for security, health or logistical reasons, Kinshasa remains optimistic about the success of the Francophonie games. The Congolese Prime Minister, Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde, assures that all the necessary arrangements have been made to welcome the delegations and ensure their safety, accommodation and catering. Despite these obstacles, the Congolese capital is preparing to offer an unforgettable event to participants and the public.
Preparations underway:
Preparations for the 9th Games of La Francophonie were discussed during the meeting of the Council of Ministers. The Prime Minister informed that the first delegations of athletes, artists and supervisors have arrived in Kinshasa. The National Committee of the Games of La Francophonie and its technical commissions worked actively to ensure a warm welcome and optimal conditions for the participants.
A major event for La Francophonie:
The Francophonie games are a major event that brings together the best French-speaking talents from around the world. After being awarded to the DRC in 2019, they have been postponed several times due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Kinshasa thus has the unique opportunity to celebrate the cultural, artistic and sporting diversity of the Francophonie and to highlight emerging talents.

The ninth Games of La Francophonie in Kinshasa are an opportunity to bring together delegations from different French-speaking countries to celebrate the cultural diversity and talent of young people. Despite the challenges and withdrawals, Kinshasa remains optimistic about the success of this major event. Preparations are underway and every effort is being made to provide an unforgettable experience for participants
