1st Central African Games

This 1976 issue from Congo Peoples Republic (Brazzaville) commemorates the first Central African Games, a regional multi-sport event for countries of Central Africa.

The inaugural Central African Games were held in 1976 and brought together athletes from across the region in a programme that included sports such as athletics, football, basketball and other events. The stamps form part of Congo’s wider sport-themed philatelic output of the 1970s, a period in which many African postal administrations issued stamps marking regional and international sporting competitions.

Catalogue listings describe this issue as the “1st Central African Games” or “The 1st Central African Games, Yaounde”. The set consists of four values: 60f, 95f, 150f and 200f.
