The 9th edition of the La Francophonie Games is set to begin in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) on July 28th, with workers rushing to finish sports facilities ahead of the event. The DRC was originally scheduled to host the games in 2021 but had to postpone due to the pandemic and a lack of adequate infrastructure. The event combines sports and cultural disciplines and aims to promote the spirit of the French-speaking world. Some participants, including Canada's province of Québec, have decided not to attend or send smaller delegations due to security and health concerns.
