Coupe de la Francophonie

The Coupe de la Francophonie (no English translation of the name is used) is an international football competition, exclusively for countries where French is an official language and/or widely spoken.

It was founded by the People's Democratic Social Republic of Ariddia, in an attempt to encourage closer relations, and a sense of shared cultural and linguistic heritage, between francophone nations.

At present, eight countries have signed up to participate.
