Total instead of Orange

French multinational telecommunication company Orange is no longer main sponsor in African football. Instead of these giants jumps another multinational French company, this time in the oil and gas sector.

Yesterday in Paris the deal was struck between the corporation and the confederation without mentioning the financial terms. Sponsorship deal includes 10 major competitions throughout the African continent: African Nations Championships ; Champions league ; Confederation cup ; Super cup ; U17, U20 and U23 Africa Cup of Nations ; Africa Cup of Nations for women and in futsal.
But first principal competition with the new sponsor will be at the beginning of next year, under its new name - Total Africa Cup on Nations, Gabon 2017. To determine the best team in Africa the competition will take place from 14 January until 05 February.
