Libreville – Friday, March 25th, 2016: Samba, the panther, will be the big attraction this Friday, March 25th 2016, of the football game between Gabon and Sierra Leone at the Stade de Franceville.
Samba is still unknown to the public, but on Friday its face will represent the African Cup of Nations 2017 Gabon.
Indeed, the panther was chosen to be the mascot of the event.
What could be more obvious to Gabon whose emblem is precisely the panther and so often represents the country on sporting events across the globe to have a panther as the mascot of the event that will take place in January and February 2017.
