The Premier League takes over Africa

If there’s something I like about Africans, it’s the way they are all somehow related. Remember Barrack Obama’s visit to Kenya? The entire Luo community testified having known and related his grandfather.

Well, this relationship is accountable for the love Africa has for the premier league. We all want to have a relative from the states! Mine today is to help you understand why Africans follow the premier league in such large numbers.

First, it’s every players’ dream to participate in the premier league championships someday during their football career. The English Premier League has managed to get the attention of the entire world and Africa in particular. Through their mentorship program, the EPL through an agent selects a promising player from local premier leagues. These individual players are trained and mentored and later become part of the EPL championships. These players are the major reason why Africans support the premier league.
Senegal, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Tanzania are amongst the African nations with large sports betting industries. This is because betting is legal here and some of their players are playing with the EPL teams.

We all have that friend who knows everything about football, deep down we all want to be that friend. Don’t worry, that’s why we are here. Pay attention to the next segment and I promise, the next time you and your crew discuss football, you will be that all-knowing friend.

Just before the coronavirus pandemic, the premier league was in its 28th season. Manchester City are now defending their championship for the second time consecutively, as the defending champions. The last match before the suspension, was held on March 9th between Leicester and Aston Villa. On Wednesday 11th March, the match between Manchester City and Arsenal. This was the first fixture to be postponed in the season. Liverpool were the team with the highest wins from the previous season. This is where we pick from now that the EPL is back in business as of Wednesday 17th June.
