The food court of the Accra Mall erupted in pure joy and ecstasy after Sadio Mane converted the spot kick that earned Senegal their first AFCON title. Scores of football lovers, who had gathered at the Accra Mall to catch a glimpse of the final AFCON match between Senegal and Egypt, watched an AFCON final for the first time in pure HD quality.
The public viewing, which happened in Accra, Kumasi and Takoradi, was made possible by SES HD Plus, Ghana’s premium satellite television service, together with its partners, YFM, Samsung and Electroland. The viewing was meant to give football lovers the ‘FeeliFeeli’ experience that the HD+ service offers consumers in their homes.
The final match was, in many respects, two hours of enthralling display of football dexterity, culminating in a penalty shoot-out. But for those who benefitted from the public viewing at the Accra Mall, Takoradi Mall and the Electroland Office in Kumasi, there was an added level of viewing pleasure – the pictures from the Olembé stadium of Yaoundé appeared in crystal clear HD quality.

Moussa Sarr, a Senegalese who had come to watch the match with his family at the Accra Mall confessed to seeing such clear pictures for the first time since he started following the AFCON. “I watched my first African Cup finals in 1980 and since then I haven’t missed any AFCON final match and in all the years that I have followed football, I must confess that I have never seen such clear pictures. And to watch those pictures as my country lifted the cup is just out of this world.”
