    [Miami, FL — September 19, 2025]: beIN SPORTS, one of the world’s leading sports networks, is proud to announce the premiere of 5ASIDE – a new weekly original program that goes beyond the pitch to explore the culture, stories and passion fueling the global game.
    Debuting on 19 September, across beIN SPORTS’ digital platforms and 2 October on linear channels, 5ASIDE delivers a dynamic mix of debate, insight and storytelling from a new generation of football voices.
    While African and diasporic football stories remain at the show’s core, 5ASIDE also covers the latest news and narratives from across the beIN SPORTS portfolio of leagues, including France’s Ligue 1, Türkiye’s Süper Lig, and Portugal’s Liga NOS.
    Hosted by Sebastian Songwe Caillat, Gabriel Guisado, Joshua Agyei-Gyamfi and Khendrick Beausoleil, the 5ASIDE panel promises energy, expertise and bold perspectives as the football world counts down to the 2025 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco - now less than four months away.

    We’re proud to make history with our new show on beIN SPORTS, covering African and diasporic football stories and beyond in a way that’s never been done before.
