  • Wafcon: How women’s football is changing in Africa
    Jul 21 2025

    Wafcon — or the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations — is heating up. Ahead of the final this Saturday in Morocco, only four teams out of twelve remain: Nigeria, South Africa, Morocco and Ghana. The tournament first took place in 1991 and since then, it’s taken off, with the Confederation of African Football reporting that more that more people are tuning in to watch every twist and turn of the competition. It’s given football stars from across the continent a chance to show off their skills on the world stage - and put the spotlight firmly on the women’s game.

    So which team will get to hold up the cup this year? And how is the tournament changing attitudes to women’s football across Africa?

    BBC Africa sports reporter Celestine Karoney explains how the tournament has changed over the years and what challenges female players still face. And the BBC’s Sara Menai updates us on the latest from the tournament as the last four teams battle it out for the cup.

  • Beggars can’t be Cubans, allegedly
    Jul 18 2025

    If someone talks about Cuba does it make you think of cigars and classic cars? Or maybe you think of limited freedom of speech and Che Guevara?

    We’re talking about Cuba because its minister for Labour, Elena Feitó Cabrera, was forced to resign after she said there was no such thing as ‘beggars’ on the island. What’s the situation with homelessness?

    We’re running through some of the top claims we’ve seen about Cuba online with Will Grant, our Cuba Correspondent, and break down how much truth there is behind them.
