One of the world’s biggest international football tournaments kicks off in Johannesburg this weekend – the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
African football has become increasingly popular in recent years because so many African players are now playing for big clubs in Europe’s top leagues.
As a result fans from all over the world will be tuning in to see which team will be crowned kings of the African continent.
Sixteen nations have qualified to battle it out for footballing glory and you can follow every goal, all the scores and all the latest news on your Nokia.
No matter where you are, what you’re doing or which Nokia device you have, you’ll never be far away from the action.
