The 9th Games of La Francophonie are about to take place in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), from Friday 28 July. With the participation of nearly 40 countries, this event promises to be a highlight for the international Francophonie.
The DRC, which has always been present in previous editions of the Games of La Francophonie, hopes this time to obtain better results. At the last Games in Abidjan in 2017, the country only won 3 medals, including one gold. This year, with nearly 300 athletes and artists ready to represent the DRC, the chances of medals are real. However, adequate preparation and unfailing motivation will be necessary to hope to reach the top step of the podium.
The opening ceremony, to be held at the Kinshasa stadium, promises to be grand. The National Games Committee invites the public to arrive from 2 p.m. to be able to access the 80,000 seats. The authorities have promised a colorful spectacle, with the participation of the most popular Congolese artists. And the icing on the cake, admission is free, so that as many people as possible can enjoy this exceptional event.
Despite some organizational difficulties, the DRC has made considerable efforts to host these Games of La Francophonie. This event, placed under the sign of hope and solidarity, will allow the DRC to showcase its talent and dynamism. The Games of La Francophonie represent an international showcase for the participating countries, and the DRC intends to seize this opportunity to shine.
In conclusion, the 9th Francophone Games in Kinshasa promise to be an unmissable event for lovers of sport and Francophone culture. The DRC, proud of its French-speaking heritage, is determined to bring honor to its country by winning as many medals as possible. See you in Kinshasa from July 28 to August 6 to experience the intensity of the Games of La Francophonie in the vibrant Congolese capital
