Football - Congo Brazzaville: Those who made it big in Ligue 1After the national championship ended on 11 June, it's time for the Congo Cup, the preliminaries of which kick off on 15 June. Runners-up for the second time in a row, Diables noirs de Brazzaville (52 points) received an envelope of 10 million CFA francs (15,244 euros). AC Colombe of Brazzaville and Epah-Ngamba of Pointe-Noire, champions of Congo in 2021 and 2022 respectively, have finally received their envelopes of three million CFA francs each. Appointed in August 2022, the Frenchman from the Djibouti national team will fight to become the first manager of his side to win the Congo Cup, as the club chaired by Raoul Ominga has never won the Congo Cup since its creation in 2014. He also pocketed the sum of 1 million CFA francs for this performance.
