Football at the 2005 Jeux de la Francophonie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Les Jeux de la francophonie sont une manifestation multisports organisée tous les quatre ans entre les athlètes des pays dont le français est la langue officielle ou l'une des langues officielles. Les Jeux de la francophonie 2005 ont eu lieu à Niamey, au Niger, du 8 au 17 décembre 2005. Je ne suis pas sûr qu'il y ait eu un tournoi de football[1] (soccer) aux Jeux de la francophonie 2005.
